Do Everything Without Grumbling

Philippians 2:12-18

  Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,    for it is God who works in you  to will and to act in order to fulfil his good purpose. 

    Do everything without grumbling  or arguing,   so that you may become blameless  and pure, “children of God  without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”  Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky   as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ  that I did not run  or labor in vain.    But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering  on the sacrifice  and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.    So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

Bible Tells Us - 

. Restlessness

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made everything beautiful in its time.  He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom  what God has done from beginning to end.

. Healing words from a dialogue with God

Luke 1:78-79

because of the tender mercy of our God,

 by which the rising sun  will come to us from heaven

    to shine on those living in darkness

 and in the shadow of death, 

 to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

. Dealing Wiseley with  temptation

James 1:13-15

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;   but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own  evil desire and enticed.   Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin;  and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
