Jonah 4
I MUST remember that God is in control.
If I can remember that God is in control - I can have a better appreciation of how God has me where He wants me. If I don't like the circumstances and I am angry or I complain it is because I am angry at God.
In the desert, Moses reminds the Israelites that when they grumbled about no food or water, they were really complaining about God.
God does not want us to grumble. He wants us to be at peace so that others see Him in us.
..instead we are to:
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God full of love and compassion for me...and yet I still am often angry and I complain. Thank You for Your patience for me but please forgive me! Help me overcome and turn from my sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me not grumble. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” v4

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become
blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and
crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the
sky. Philippians 2:14-15
