a devotional / bible study about complaining & fruit
read the entire chapter 5 in the book of Galatians
enjoy the learning journey through this topic from my notes below...
Talk about with your parents / legal guardians / adult care givers and maybe even as an entire family:
· Complaining puts your focus on the wrong thing…stop focusing on all negative stuff in your life! Your attitude is a huge deal in your everyday life! Philippians 2
· If you have the ability to change your circumstance, then stop wasting your energy on complaining...get off your butt and go do something about it! Romans 12
· Your perspective is absolutely everything! There will always be some circumstances that are completely out of your control…but, those challenges / difficulties / hardships / trials can and will (if you choose a teachable spirit) provide a way for you to grow and learn how to rely on God more and cooperate together with Holy Spirit! 1 Peter 4, 2 Corinthians 4, James 1
Engaging questions:
What are things you complain about the most and why?
Why do you think people choose to continually complain?
Read Exodus 14 (discuss verses 11 & 12) What was the attitude and the heart condition of the Israelites in this passage? What had they forgotten? How have you been like the Israelites, ungrateful for what God has already done in your life?
Back to the first question. What are some things you complain about, but, that you have the ability to change? How can you choose an attitude of be more proactive to turn those things around?
Why should we praise God? Read Psalm 100 and 103 How can remembering all that God has done for you change the way you look at the harder things in your life?
Paul in Philippians chapter 2 is making a connection between our complaining and how others view us. How does our complaining make us look bad to those that don’t know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, yet?
Is there a step of action you need to take based on this devotional? I encourage you to write it down. Tell the Lord and also share it with a parent and or your family. If you’d like, you may also share it with me too.
If you have any questions, or would like to talk about this study please call our church office (#204 – 822 – 6209) or email (derek.neufeld@clcmorden.org).
Grace & Peace in His grip!
