Without Complaining Or Arguing, But In Appreciation

Philp 2:14-15
14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so 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


God wants a heart that will serve willingly. If we are constantly complaining and arguing about life, about the things that we have, about the situations that we are in, we are doing this to God. We are saying to Him that this is not good enough for us.

Who are we to complain to God for the great blessings that we have. Sometimes we look at all the negative so much, that we forget that we are so blessed. This generation is so numb to the fact that God is Good, and He has blessed us with so much. We need to not complain or argue, but be humble and have a heart of thanksgiving for the appreciation of what God has done in our lives.

Father, you are awesome. You, the maker of heaven and earth, the God of this wonderful Universe. You are so great, why do we complain and argue? You have blessed us and given us so much, life and an abundant life. Who are we to complain against you for the situations that you place us in? Lord, give me a heart to understand and to humble myself to appreciate you more. Let me love more and more everyday. Though that may be hard at times, I pray for that. Again, I thank you for all that you have done. I give you all the glory and honor in Jesus Christ name.
Amen.
