Moses was asking GOD, "why have YOU put me with people who "ARE CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING". (Numbers 11:11). Moses became so frustrated that he spoke unadvisedly; he said things that were not of the SPIRIT. "Complaining displeases the LORD" (Numbers 11:1). Are we the VICTIM of "MIXT MULTITUDE"; where we speak from the SPIRIT one moment, and from the FLESH the next moment? COMPLAINING destroys our SOULS, SEPARATES US FROM GOD, affects THOSE AROUND US and brings GOD'S DISPLEASURE on our own lives. Do we not appreciate GOD'S Blessings because they never seem good enough or we are on to our "next complaint"? DO WE ALLOW OUR SPIRIT TO BECOME AGITATED, EVEN UNGRATEFUL, BY SOMEONE ELSE'S BEHAVIOR? DON'T LOSE AWARENESS OF WHO IS IN CONTROL; HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT. We may not be able to stop other people's COMPLAINING; BUT WE CAN CHOOSE HOW WE ARE GOING TO RESPOND; IN THE FLESH, OR IN THE SPIRIT.

Yesterday, while walking, I began to "skip". Job 21:11, "They send out their little boys...and their children dance."
Today, GOD WILLING, I will draw patterns in the dirt with a stick, and HOP-SCOTCH. AND HE AND I WILL SMILE. Prayers that we all know this FREEDOM, There are no PERFECT Christians, and dare we say, there are no PERFECT Sinners. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, Right? What if we aren't practicing the right things? Then we become PERFECT AT IMPERFECTION. Psalm 11:10, "...all those who PRACTICE it have a good understanding..." Then what is it that we are to PRACTICE? We are to PRACTICE LOVE NOT THINGS. There is no way to PRACTICE not Judging, not being Offended, not Offending or not Committing to Sin no more, because we will do it IMPERFECTLY. GOD IS LOVE. THE ONLY PERFECTION WE SHOULD HOPE TO OBTAIN IS LOVE, "...BECAUSE LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS" (1 Peter 4:8).
