And Yet I Complain

"Many, O Lord, are the wonders you have done.  The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare."  Psalm 40:5

Now if that doesn't boggle the mind I'm not sure what does. I mean, really, how do I explain my dissatisfaction, my complaints, my self pity in light of the glorious truth that God has planned more things for me than I could possibly recount. So many things, in fact, that were I to attempt to recount them all, they would be more than I could possibly declare. 

I believe the Psalmists words to be true! Truth is irrefutable, it is not open to discussion or dispute. Yet, each time I complain, each time I wallow in self-pity I am turning my focus away from the truth. I am choosing to waste my time, my energy, my resource focusing on what I don't understand instead of glorying in the marvelous reality of God's care and compassion for me. 


I purpose to declare the wonders which God has done for me, to reflect on His marvelous character and His deeds and plans on my behalf. So much healthier to dwell there. God truly is gracious and wonderful!
