THEME: MURMURING AND COMPLAINING

1 Corinthians 10:10-13

“And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

INSIGHT

-The Israelites grumbled and complained against Moses and Aaron, and one generation died in the desert. During the Passover, they relied on the blood of the lamb smeared on their door posts and the angel did not strike them. We are reminded to examine the body and blood of Jesus even in our homes and we will have peace, protection and abundant life during these challenging times. Murmuring and complaining is also a cause for one to fall into temptations. We are thus called to stand on the word of God through faith and the Holy Spirit will help us to overcome all trials. There are different levels of temptations which are presented to different people. The temptations faced by Job could be termed as difficult to many, but God’s grace is sufficient. Temptations of pride could also be regarded as dangerous for they brought both great men and angels down. Satan the most anointed cherub fell because of pride. Likewise, king Nebuchadnezzar was dethroned because of pride. There are various forms of pride which include and are not limited to:- spiritual pride, pride caused by beauty, wealth, power etc. Pride grows gradually in our hearts and unnoticeably becomes a massive destructive tree. We are cautioned against pride which slowly erodes our dependence on God and degrades our relationship with men. Psalms 37:11 reminds us, “But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.” We are called to humble ourselves before the Lord and He will lift us up.
