Complaining and Arguing

Philippians 2:14-15 (KJV) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

You are a citizen of heaven, an ambassador and representative of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. If people who don't know God ever get a picture or demonstration of what life in the kingdom of God is like, it will be through you. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace & joy in the Holy Spirit. If those around you are arguing and complaining, you can combat that with the kingdom of heaven by speaking what is right, and things that produce peace and joy. If you're not accustomed to acting or reacting this way, it will take some discipline. You'll have to stay alert and be aware of the devil's schemes so that you are not caught off guard. His job is to steal, kill and destroy and he wants to keep you from being a light in a dark place. So always be ready to usher in what makes for peace, joy and righteousness! The next time you stand there wishing God would come in and change a situation, keep in mind that He is already at work trying to get that done. And He's choosing to do it through you! That's why you're on the scene. So don't fall into the trap of grumbling and complaining - do and say what makes for peace, joy and righteousness. It's up to you!

Have A Blessed Day
