This really stood out to me today because we just had family home evening where we re-watched President Monson's talk from the most recent conference. One of the things he talked about was enduring to the end, especially through life's challenges. I think that people who "murmur" do so because they don't understand or recognize God's hand in their lives. They don't trust that He is taking care of them, even though their circumstances may be difficult at that moment.
We may not understand God's reasons for doing something, but if we have faith and trust that he is watching out for us, we won't murmur, but we will see how blessed we are, and we will be grateful for it.
It reminds me of the "Footprints" poem: it's in our most difficult times that He carries us, even though we don't recognize it. See what a powerful thing it is to recognize that though? Rather than looking back at life and suddenly realizing how much He was there for you, try to see it now, in both good times and difficult times. I think you will be amazed. I know I am.
