The Temptation to Complain

"In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing, so that no one can speak a word of blame against you."  Philippians 2:14

The temptation to complain. How many times did you complain today?

We never really look at complaining as a temptation but it is a huge one. Satan loves to hear us complain, because when we do, we focus more on the problem, situation, or person than we do on Christ.

Jesus keep us aware of every complaint we begin to utter. Hold our tongue, take our thoughts captive, and place our eyes and minds on You and Your Word. This is a huge temptation that I give in to regularly. Forgive me and help me to obey Philippians 2:14 and put it into action.  Amen
