    Peace is a gift from Christ, you can’t earn it. Only He can grants such a gift because He is in control of all things. We must believe in the sovereignty of God, learn to let go and leave our burdens with Him, and take the gift of peace by faith.

    Complaining is so common these days. People like to complain about everything. Did you realize that complaining is directed at God, who has control over our circumstances? That is why complaining can be a serious sin.

    Illustration: A man walked into a hardware store and asked for a chain saw advertised to cut six trees in an hour. He returned the next day, fussing and complaining, "This chainsaw is defective. It would only cut one tree, and it took ALL DAY!" The salesman said, "Let me look at ...read more
