Complain – Compare – Covet – Idolatry

Be thankful to God for everything
Be thankful to God in everything
For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:24

When we begin to complain about the things we don’t have, it ultimately leads to idolatry. Complaining instead of being thankful to God for everything and in everything, makes us begin to compare ourselves with others, whom we think are doing better than we are or seemingly have no problems.
This eventually leads to covetousness and then idolatry … Covetousness is as the sin of idolatry. Col 3:5
To prevent us from degenerating to this level, we should be thankful always to God for the life He has given to us and live it to the fullest, whether we have or have not!
