The Ability To Let Go

Meribah means” quarreling” Messah “testing” Istraelites grumbled a lot It was about the lack of water Moses responded by scolding them for testing Eternal God It only incited the people more Threatened to kill him Moses petitioned to Eternal God Who supplies the water they need When we complain about our less-than-satisfactory situations Moses is not around to intercede A bit of complaining maybe helpful; a lot is harmful Get complains out by writing in journal Grumbling to myself when I walk This keeps me from continuing my inner griping endlessly To prolong it would definitely harden my heart When I stop complaining Open up to the quiet presence of the Holy one I don’t always receive water like the Istraelites But I do obtain the ability to let go and live more peacefully
