Although I did not spend time with the Lord today here were my thoughts from Wednesday's time with him-
Do all things without grumbling and complaining so that you may be blameless and innocent children of God without blemish in the midst of a twisted and crooked generation among whom you shine as lights in the world. Philippians 2:14 (I believe)
I know I have talked about how I can be different and how do people see Jesus in me and I thought these words really gave me perspective as to how Jesus shines through me in a very practical way. I am assuming Paul knew men complained and grumbled about everything, but followers of Christ live a blameless and innocent life. If Christ is going to shine through me then I need to do all things without grumbling and complaining so that I will be a blameless and innocent child of God without blemish. In my world where it is so easy to complain and grumble about people and things not being done a certain way this verse is very challenging as I strive to be more like Christ.
