In Philippians 2:14-18 Paul continues the call to live in a way that displays the supreme worth of Jesus through the simple command to, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing”. In this way the children of God shine as lights in the world. Throughout the bible we see the history of God's people and the affect of a grumbling, dissatisfied, critical heart. In grumbling about life, our hearts are ultimately saying they are critical of God and His sovereignty. In Jesus, however God's people have the assurance that He is working all things together for our good, and because of this are called to a discerning, defiant, hope-filled optimism that shines the reality of Christ as a light in the world.
