After James 5:7-12
No grumbling against
one another; grumbling
implies you’re judging
one another, and you,
too, will be judged;
the Judge is standing
at the door. Consider
the prophets. They were
patient on their suffering,
and they suffered
for how they served
the Lord. Be patient
and steadfast in your
patience. Job remained
patient and steadfast
in the face of terrible
trials and ordeals.
And Job received
compassion and mercy.
So, cut the grumbling.
