Have you ever encountered that person that complains all the time? The person who is so negative that you just don’t want to be in there presence? How do you handle a situation like this? Do you ignore them or do you address them? Do you let their complaining vex your spirit or do you try to lead them in the path of righteousness? In other words do you try to point them on the right road?
One thing about being around a complainer is that we must not judge them, as they are judging. For, in essence, that’s what complaining is. It is judging a situation that does not follow up to your standards. So, immediately, you begin to negative speak against that situation. As a matter of fact, James 5:9 tells us not to complain, particularly against each other, so that we, too, will not be judged. The Judge (which is Christ Jesus) is standing at the door. Therefore, the next time you begin to complain or encounter a complainer, just say, “Stop! Take it up with Jesus!” For, He is the only one that can provide wisdom and direction for any and all situations.
