Dark ominous clouds are forming just beyond the horizon. Each of God' children must stand strong in the days [and nights] ahead.  We have been called for such a time as this. We must neither grumble nor complain, but allow God' grace to work in our hearts so the lost will see His Glory - His Goodness in the midst of the trials and turmoil and many souls will be brought into His Kingdom.

Is not Christ your treasure? Is not heaven your inheritance—and will you murmur?

Has not God given you a changed heart, a renewed nature, and a sanctified soul—and will you murmur?

Has He not given you Himself to satisfy you, His Son to save you, His Spirit to lead you, His grace to adorn you, His covenant to assure you, His mercy to pardon you, His righteousness to clothe you—and will you murmur? Has He not made you a friend, a son, a brother, a bride, an heir—and will you murmur?

When you were dead, did not He quicken you? When you were lost, did not He seek you? When you were wounded, did not He heal you? When you were falling, did not He support you? When you were down, did not He raise you? When you were staggering, did not He establish you? When you were erring, did not He correct you? When you were tempted, did not He support you? and when you went in dangers, did not He deliver you?—and will you murmur?

What! you who are so highly advanced and exalted above many thousands in the world?

Murmuring suits none so badly as His saints.
