GRUMBLING!

1 Peter 4:9 – Devotional

1 Peter 4:9

“Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.“

We were at a family picnic and one of the younger boys had a frown on his face, and was grumbling under his breath. He looked so miserable that he was making everyone else miserable as well.

Later one of his uncles tried to show him how to hold a bat so he would be better able to hit the ball when it was pitched. The boy’s grumbling increased so I eased closer to hear what he was grumbling about. It was hilarious when I heard his low mumble, “You old grouch!”

How ironic! He was the one who had been an old grouch (even at the age of 10), and yet was calling his uncle a grouch just because he was trying to give him instructions to help him.

I wonder how often we are prone to become grumblers as we go through life. We refuse to accept the counsel of family or friends and instead we grumble and complain. This should not be. As believers we should be the happiest and most joyous people on the face of the earth. Are we? Are you? Just remember — no grumbling allowed in God’s family!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions, without grumbling!
