Are you grumbling?

Jesus declared in John 6:35, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."

At this, the Jews began To grumble about Him because Jesus said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." They were bothered and complaining that He was the son of Joseph, whose father and mother they knew. How could He possibly have come from heaven.
The Jews had just been fed a feast by Jesus knowing that He had miraculously multiplied it, but yet when Jesus said something controversial they were spiritually blinded by their complaining and grumbling. They couldn't even get past their thoughts of what they saw with their natural eyes to consider that God was trying to draw them to new understanding! If you are going through something today I want to encourage you to step back and ask God what He is doing. The thoughts that God has for you out number the grains of sand in the universe. He has a plan for your life and it's a prosperous plan not a harmful plan. We must trust and believe that God is continuously working on our behalf. In the natural, things may not add up correctly but God has not called us to live in the natural. He has called us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds by the washing of His word...... Jesus! Trust Him today. Seek Him today. Don't react or respond by grumbling. We will each give an account for the words we speak. I believe that tests are harder when our disbelief is involved. Grow with God. Go with God. Give God the glory even when it's hard to see the big picture!
