complaining is a bad habit
Andrés Cisterna
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The habit of complaining is common in our lives and it comes from the Garden of Eden. Job 10:1 says, "I will give free rein to my complaint." Complaining brings depression and leads to pessimism, rebellion against God's will, and conformity. It also brings envy, lies, discontent, doubt, bitterness, sadness, pride, greed, anger, and curse. Complaining before the Lord brings condemnation. We should be grateful and recognize all the things God has done for us. We can be firm on the rock that is Jesus Christ and when we are, there is no reason to complain, gossip, condemn, or curse. Instead, there are reasons for blessing, gratitude, and joy.
God is our keeper, helper, provider, and healer. He wants to bless us abundantly. We thank God for this time of worship and pray for his protection when we return home. We ask for his blessings in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I want to talk to you a little bit today about something that has troubled my life because it is a very domestic way of living for us. How many have ever complained? I'm not talking about those complaints of pain, because sometimes due to illness, but complaining about being dissatisfied, or complaining about being full, or complaining about having a lot, or complaining about having little, or complaining about having nothing. It is a habit in our life to complain. We complain even just in case, to see if we catch something.

Yes, when one takes an example of depression, of illness one goes to Job, but look at the verse that Job presents us here in the book of Job, chapter 10, verse 1 says:
