Philippians 2:14,15 -Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
This is an interesting couple of verses. Do EVERYTHING without complaining or arguing. As tasks are growing in my day today I can feel this urge to start complaining. as I studied this passage a little more, verse 13 seems to bring it all together.
Philippians 2:13 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
not only should we no argue and complain to be blameless and pure, so it will result in us shining in this dark generation, but we can do so because God is in control. Pro-life laws are overturned, the economy is in a downward slide, unemployment is rising, and we have our own personal issues as well. But in all things we should not complain and argue, but be blameless and pure so we can offer hope to the hopeless! I am thankful our joy does not come from our human circumstances!
