The Bondage of a Negative Spirit
Someone once wrote, “The person with the discontented heart has the attitude that everything he does for God is too much, and everything God does for him is too little.” It’s very difficult to be around whining, complaining, and negative people. Yet at times we all find ourselves in that position. Throughout their sojourn through the desert, the children of Israel found themselves directing their discontent at Moses and ultimately God. They complained about the miracle nourishment that was sent by God. They whined about the report of the men sent into Canaan to spy out the land. They spoke of stoning Moses and Aaron.
