Nothing worse than taking people camping who complain. It's human nature to complain about things. I was laughing listening to Joseph Prince talk about how when some people get to heaven they will say, "Oh the light is too bright." "Oh the music is too beautiful, I only like Honky Tonk music." One of my friends told me her mother-in-law lived a long time and she thought it was because she complained so much that even God who is patient did not want to listen to her in heaven....LOL
The Children of Israel were delivered mightily out of Egypt and were taken care of in the wilderness, but they constantly complained and ended up spending 40 years there until they died.
They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord. Psalm 106:25
Nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. 1 Cor. 10:10
I'll never forget going to visit a friend at the Alive music concert in Ohio, and it poured down rain except for the Skillet band who played. We had a window of no rain and I enjoyed dancing and singing when they were playing. We went to our car and I had to leave early to get back for another event on Sunday and it was almost midnight and our car was stuck in mud up to our knees in this field. There was no pushing the car out and it started pouring down rain again. It reminded me a Christian Woodstock concert as far as the rain and mud. I laughed at the top of my lungs thinking, "Wow this is literally a freaking real storm that I am praising God in." Finally a tractor came and started pulling us out of the field and we left about midnight.
In the Bible, it talks about how Paul and Silas were beaten and put in prison and they started praising God in the midnight hour --they were singing hymns- the hymns of David. It says the "prisoners heard them." Then their prison doors were opened and so were the prisoners' doors opened.
If we want doors open in life - try praising God on a regular basis.
Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. Acts 16:25-26
