Complaining is an effective tool of the enemy of our soul. Why? Complaining opposes God’s ways and will. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

We are saved by God’s will. John 1:13 says, “Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” He orchestrates our life according to His will. Ephesians 1:11 says, “…who works all things according to the counsel of His will.”

We are predestined to adoption as His children. Ephesians 1:5 says, “…according to the good pleasure of His will.” Romans 12:2 is a command to not be conformed to this world. Rather to be transformed through the renewing of our minds, “…that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

As we abide in Him, He will prune away the saplings of our fleshly complaints. He uses the scalpel of His word to penetrate deep to expose, and remove our fleshly diseased fruit.
