another
common complainer is the “martyr” and
moses is a great example and the
martyr’s favorite phrase is “no one appreciates
me.” no one appreciates me.
look at
numbers 11.11-15 (lb), moses said to the LORD,
“why pick on me, to give the burden of a people like this? i can’t carry this nation by myself! if YOU’re
going to treat me like this, please kill me right now -- it will be a
kindness! let me out of this impossible
situation!”

a
martyr. folks, these people are pros at
having pity parties. when they are sick
or under pressure they want everybody to know about it. “oh i feel so bad.”
it’s
like the hypochondriac who put on his tombstone, “i told you i was sick.”
moses
the whiner. come just kill me. life is tough. it would be a kindness for you to just knock
me off.
so how
do you react when you don’t get your way?
do you mount a complaining campaign?
and you whine and fuss and argue and debate…but mom, but dad. the martyr.
just a
thought from the front porch…
