Me and My Children

Philippians 2:14–15

“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.”

I really like how when I cry out to God -- in the next few days, I'll see answers to my questions. In this post... I seemed very distressed... but in my daily Bible reading, I've been reassured over and over again that I'm not doing so bad. And it's not ME... I'm a tool that's not doing so bad. The Holy Spirit is speaking to my kiddos through me.

Philippians 2 is one way He is speaking to them. Through my good works. Working with out murmurings and disputings, or grumbling and complaining. Robertson's Word Pictures says murmurings means muttering. Ü I think I mutter sometimes. So I'm going to eliminate that. Snap -- just like that? NO... but I'm going to cry out to God about that. LORD help me! Because I want to “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

Here is another reason to not murmur which leads to disputing.

Phi 2:15 -
That ye may be Rather, “that ye may become”
Blameless Free from censure
Harmless Unmixed, unadulterated as in Rom_16:19.
Without blemish Without spot, “unblemished in reputation and in reality”
In the midst of
Crooked. Old word, curved as opposed to orthos, straight.
Perverse to distort, to twist, to turn to one side

I thank you who were praying. Don't give that up -- will you?
