I heard the Lord say:

Think before you speak, but be quick to hear
I only gave you one mouth, but gave you two ears
Prudence and wisdom will bend low to speak
However, to the foolish, it will sound like Greek

Complaining and grumbling is what I hate
Rebellion and anger it will instigate
Courage and faith will be left far behind
To My voice, they will become deaf and blind

Trust in Me, even when you don’t understand
If you love Me, you will do what I command
Such bitter talk, must come to an end
If you want to love and be My friend

Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 
6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Numbers 14:26-30 – “The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: 27 ‘How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites. 28 So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say: 29 In this wilderness your bodies will fall—every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. 30 Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh and Joshua, son of Nun.’”
