Philippians - Living in the WordSample

Key Verse:
Philippians 2:14
Do everything without grumbling or arguing…
Reflection:
There aren't many who truly enjoy being around negative people, at least for any length of time. When we are surrounded by those who complain about everything, it begins to wear on our souls. Paul doesn't say, "complain less." He says, "Do EVERYTHING without grumbling and arguing." That's a tall order, but here's why: verses 15-16 of today’s passage say, "so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life." Is this hard? Sure. Is it attainable? Absolutely!
Response:
What are the things in your life that consistently bother you?
Do you complain about them regularly?
How could a change in your attitude about those things alter your mental well-being?

About this Plan

Beginning with Philippians, Paul gives insight into his personal experiences, including his ability to be content in both abundance and lack. Then, in Colossians, Paul focuses on the supremacy of Christ, showcasing His sovereignty in the physical and spiritual realms. Finally, in 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Paul writes to honor and congratulate the Christians in Thessalonica for their faith and growth in the face of intense persecution.
