I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 23rd of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Old Testament, in the Book of Numbers 11:1:

‘Now 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.’ 

God does not enjoy it when we are moaning all the time. Rather, let us call upon the Lord. If we look at Jeremiah 33:3:

“Call to Me, and I will answer you”, He says, “and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”

Rather, ask the Lord and stop moaning.

Then we go to the Gospel of Luke 9:54:

“And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”

And of course, the Lord said no. He did not come to destroy men's lives. He came to save them.

We really need to watch what we say. We have so much, don’t we? And yet we tend to complain and moan. Stop moaning. Rather, bring your petitions to the Lord and ask Him, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to help you, and He will. So let us today decide to stop moaning. There is nothing worse than when you wake up in the morning and your loved one, your husband or your wife, turns over and you say, “Good morning, my darling, I love you”, and then they start to moan. Man, it takes the joy of the Lord out of it, doesn’t it?

Let’s start saying things which are up-building and uplifting. If you have nothing good to say about someone, rather don’t say anything at all. Remember, Jesus Christ came to save the lost. Pray for those who are complaining, that they will see that the Lord is for them, and not against them.

Jesus bless you and have a full day of praising His name,
Goodbye.
