What a good reminder that this earthly life is not our only hope. No, we may be confident that today, in this moment, while we still walk in the “land of the living”, we will see the Lord’s goodness happen. It is so important to live in rhythm with God’s Word and the Spirit’s leading, rather than out of guilt or shame. Despite the division around us war and darkness, conflict and divisions, our spirit can be lifted and provides a peace that transcends all human understanding.
“Everyday complaining is so often about convenience and ease—but we can learn that other things are much more important. We want something better out of life than simply becoming one more complainer and cynic. That human kindness gives a sip of the fresh water of wisdom. God is the spring itself, the mighty river of living water. Jesus said that he went about the work of “making disciples.” That’s just a fancy way to say making us over so that we become like him in the way we treat people.” - David A. Powlison, Good and Angry: Redeeming Anger, Irritation, Complaining, and Bitterness
