These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lust; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men\u2019s persons in admiration because of advantage. <\/i><\/p>\n

3752<\/b> The Wilderness March<\/b><\/p>\n
It is calculated that over one million of the children of Israel died in the wilderness by God\u2019s judgment for their murmurings in forty years. <\/p>\n

3753<\/b> If God Knows, That\u2019s Enough<\/b><\/p>\n
When the novelist, Dr. A. J. Cronin, was a practicing physician in a small Welsh mining community, he worked with a remarkable nurse. For more than twenty years Oliven Davies had served the people with competence, patience, and cheerfulness. Her friend, the doctor, resented the inadequate salary with which her selfless work was rewarded. <\/p>\n
\u201cLate one night after a particularly strenuous case, I ventured to protest to her as we drank a cup of tea together. \u201cNurse,\u201d I said, \u201cwhy don\u2019t you make them pay you more? It\u2019s ridiculous that you should work for so little.\u201d She raised her eyebrows slightly. But she smiled, \u201cI have enough to get along.\u201d \u201cNo really,\u201d I protested and persisted, \u201cyou ought to have an extra pound a week at least. God knows you\u2019re worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a pause. Her smile remained but her gaze held a gravity, an intensity, that startled me. \u201cDoctor!\u201d she said, \u201cif God knows I\u2019m worth it, that\u2019s all that matters!\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

3754<\/b> Oxen Face The Wheels<\/b><\/p>\n
A heavy wagon was being dragged along a country lane by a team of oxen. The wheels groaned and creaked terribly. The oxen turned around and spoke to the wheels: \u201cHey, there! why do you make so much noise? We bear all the labour, and we, not you, ought to cry out.\u201d<\/p>\n

3755<\/b> Epigram On Murmuring<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2022 To swear is wicked because it is taking God\u2019s name in vain. To murmur is likewise wicked for it takes God\u2019s promises in vain. <\/p>\n
\u2022 When in deep water, it\u2019s a good idea to keep your mouth shut. <\/p>\n
\u2014St. Louis Labor Tribune<\/i><\/p>\n
\u2022 There is a difference between groaning and grumbling. <\/p>\n
