From The Crucible (by Pastor Linda Pugsley)

Are you a complainer? Is your typical day complaining to God that you woke up late and your car didn't start fast enough, that your cell phone went dead and your foot massager didn't work when you got home? Maybe you'd be surprised if He told you the "rest of the story"...like He was fighting off the death angel this morning and let you sleep through it; and he delayed your car start so you wouldn't get hit with that drunk driver down the road; and the phone dying prevented you from receiving a call that would have been used against you at work; and that foot massager had a short and would have wrecked the wires in your house and cost you a fortune to repair. Can you just trust God to know what He's doing? "In all things give thanks" (1 Thes 5:18)
