Whine or Worship

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Gratitude matters. Few things are more becoming in a child of God than a grateful spirit. And conversely, probably nothing makes a person more unattractive than the absence of gratefulness.

I’ve found that in every difficult circumstance, I can respond in one of two ways: I can whine, or I can worship.

Whining is a lot easier - it's natural - but God uses worship as a way for us to bless Him and for Him to bless us. And we can’t worship without giving thanks. 

When we choose the pathway of worship and thanksgiving, especially in the midst of painful circumstances, a sweet radiance issues from our lives.

But when we give into in to whining, murmuring, and complaining, we end up on a destructive slide that ultimately leads to bitterness and broken relationships.

Will you choose to be a whiner or a worshiper today?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
