Shining Lights in a Dark World

Scripture

Philippians 2

13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.14 Do everything without complaining and arguing, 15 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.

Observation

God gives us both the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. Think about that for awhile as you go about your day. When you have a desire to do something good...you will also have the power to get it done. Both the desire and the power came from God. Then we need to check our attitude because you may have a really good idea and the power to carry it out but if you do it with a bad attitude then you have just messed everything up. God wants us to shine out in this dark world. He wants us to live clean innocent lives as His children so the world will take notice.

Application

I will work hard today without complaining and hopefully not arguing either. I want to shine for Jesus today. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, as You give me Godly desires today and the power to do them help me not complain or argue. Help me have a good attitude today. Help me see things from Your perspective. You are Worthy to be served today. Help me serve You by serving others today and help me to do it with the right attitude. Amen.
