Philippians 2:14-16
Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. (NLT)
Sounds just like me. Right! I wish this is how others saw me all the time. But it is probably not true. I can be seen complaining and arguing. When I am right, how can I help but challenge those who disagree with me?
It is tough to live life in this fast paced, competitive world and be the person this passage is suggesting. However, this is what we should be like. As believers and followers of Jesus who was just like this, doesn't God expect it of us?
How can we be shining His light in the world if we are engaging in things others can criticize us for? Being a believer is not a "do as I say not as I do" venture.
"Father, I know I fall short as I live this life you gave me. I want to be just like Jesus in all I do and say. Help me. Change me. Make me a living example of Jesus to all I come in contact with. In Jesus name, I pray."
