Have you ever been told to do something but you really didn’t want to do it so you went away grumbling and murmuring about it? I have been so guilty of this at times in my life.
Philippians 2:14 King James Version
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings
Philippians 2:15-16 King James Version
15 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;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
We need to be a light in this world and when we feel that need to murmur or dispute we need to turn to God’s word and remember what Christ did for us.
James 5:9 – Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

Jude 1:16 – These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

1 Corinthians 10:10 – Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
