For the flesh is weak...

It's true.... Matthew 26:41..... "For the flesh is weak...." 

So many people complain.... They complain about their lives, their jobs, their school... Stop complaining... We were not put on this earth to complain! We were put on this earth to glorify God!  You think your glorifying God by complaining about what He has given you?!  This is such an easy snare to fall into because the flesh, is WEAK!  Some people don't want to follow God... Some want to serve him, but only as advisors.  Some people pray, giving God instructions! Can you believe that?Don’t give God instructions — just report for duty!

Some people complain about their church!  Some people say "Well I just wasn't getting fed there." Oh please. If there was any teaching from the word, you got fed; you just decided to spit it out!  God's word never comes back void!  Stop complaining about your church because IF it was perfect, you couldn't belong!

Some people complain about their pastor!  How he is not perfect, and his teachings are not accurate... Well guess what?!  If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.  So start praying church!

Some people complain about how some people are unreachable... Well.... DUH.... Not everybody is going to be reachable..  We, as Christians, will be rejects.  It's in our nature as Christians, to be rejects.  Unfortunately, some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

I complain a lot too! I complain about sinful people, "Christians" who I see who is not following like they should be... But I remember a couple of things, we were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges, we judge, way to much. Be ye fishers of men. You catch ‘em – He’ll clean ‘em, we were not called to clean them, just fish for them.  God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called, who are you to say who is qualified and who is not to follow God? Look at Jesus's disciples, Matthew for example... One of the most hated people of that time.. Know why? He was a tax collector. Considered a traitor of the Jewish people. Tax collectors back then, would take just a little extra money more then they needed for themselves.  And one more thing: God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?  Again, what gives you the right to judge?  I'm not going to get into this much, but check out Matthew 7.
