If I asked you to make a list of sins, what would come to mind? What would be first on your list?
Where would grumbling land? What about disputing? We'd probably put those pretty low on the list. I bet most of us don't even think about grumbling as a sin. But the Israelites, in their wilderness journey, filled their lives with grumbling and complaining rather than thanking God for delivering them.
So in the midst of a world filled with disputing and grumbling, what kind of witness will you give? Will your life reflect the overwhelming sense of gratitude we should have towards God? Will you let your light shine in the midst of a world often filled with darkness?
May we be glad and rejoice in what God is doing in our midst, and may that gratitude be contagious, that a sense of joy may pervade the communities in which we take part.
