Sure fire way to piss God off!

I don't know about you but I don't think it is a good idea to piss God off if we can help it.  Make sense?  Now I have written in the past about how sometimes the Bible can be a bit opaque in it's meaning.  However today I found something that, at least for me, is pretty black and white.  You ready for it?

If you want a sure fire way to piss God off, be a complainer!

Numbers 11:1(NKJV)

1Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. 

Numbers 11:10(NKJV)

10Then Moses heard the people weeping (complaining) throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of the Lord was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased. 

As a parent, let me use this analogy.  You know how sometimes your kids can do things that while they may annoy you, you kind of let it slide?  It's not worth making a big deal over.  On the other hand, you know how sometimes your kids will take something too far and now you went from annoyed to really pissed?  That point where the kids eyes get really big because they just realized they pushed a little too far? 

Well that's they way I picture the meaning of these verses.  Complaining doesn't just annoy God, it pisses Him off!

What does God want from us?  Let's take a look at this verse from Colossians.

Colossians 2:6-7(NKJV)

6As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 

7rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding £in it with thanksgiving.

Abounding in it with thanksgiving!  What do you have to be thankful for?  How about letting God know how much you appreciate it!
