Philippians 2:15
Scripture
ObservationDoing everything without grumbling or arguing can be difficult. But, look at the reason why God asks us to do this!
So that we may become
1) blameless
2) pure
3) children of God
4) without fault in a warped and crooked generation
5) to shine among them like stars in the sky.
We become.
This is a process.
As we learn to do EVERYTHING without
grumbling or arguing,
we become all these things.
It takes time.
And it's worth it.
Application
These last few days, I've kept this Scripture in the back of my mind.
God has helped me to control
even my thoughts so as not
to grumble mentally or argue.
Guess what happened in my heart!!!!
My empathy, love, understanding, tenderness, patience and gentleness
grew even more!
I learned that if we focus on the negative,
we receive negative.
But, my dear reader, if we learn to focus on building the character of Christ in ourselves,
We become free.
Prayer
LORD, thank You for this time together! I am learning so much from this study and pray that others are blessed as well. Help me to remember what You are teaching me that I may live it out. When I fail, gently help me to ask forgiveness and to forgive myself! Father, life is so much more pleasant with grumbling or arguing! Thank You for teaching me this lesson!
Amen.
Covered In Love
My blocks seem to have a
mind of their own
as they chose their finished sizes!
My daughter suggested that I add
mind of their own
as they chose their finished sizes!
My daughter suggested that I add
1/8" to my cuts
so that my blocks won't be too small.
How do you all manage this quandary?
