THE WAY WE LIVE SHOULD REFLECT THE LIGHT OF JESUS
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, – Philippians 2:14-15
Most of us do not like the company of those who always complain and are unhappy. If we constantly have an unhappy heart and a negative attitude, we may not have very many friends around us either. Whenever we find ourselves complaining and giving way to procrastination, sin is not far off. The more we hesitate and postpone a dreaded job, the harder it will be to get it done.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper, and He wants us to call upon Him to help us do whatever we have to do, even if it is cleaning house, cooking, doing laundry, fixing things, cleaning the garage, or taking care of important tasks or even simple ones. When we must help others, the Holy Spirit will help us do it with love and the right heart, so that our good deed will receive God’s reward.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Dear Lord, I desperately need Your help! Only if You help me will I be able to overcome my tendency to complain and delay the hard tasks I must do. You know my heart and how difficult it is for me, so please give me the passion to do it right and as unto You and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that I can change and become what you want me to be. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
