Without Complaining

I have mentioned Steve Green’s Hide ’Em in Your Heart albums previously. One album included the verse Philippians 2:14. Here’s how the lyrics go for the song:

Do everything without complaining

Do everything without arguing.

So that you may be called blameless and pure children of God.

Without complaining, without arguing,

Do, do everything.

Do everything without complaining.

Do everything without arguing.

So that you may be called blameless and pure children of God.

Make a fresh determination to avoid murmuring. Some things just are what they are, and no amount of murmuring helps. Indeed, it’s more likely to tear down your spirit and the spirit of others if you allow it into your life. It’s oh so easy to be drawn into the conversations of others

There is no benefit for continuing to gripe. Let the other guy have the last word. Keep a smile on your face and a sincere desire for peace in your heart and . . . let it alone.

You are not likely to avoid having to do unpleasant tasks. You might as well choose to do them without complaining.

Make that part of your goals for 2013.

Complain less.
Now, how do you break that down into a specific plan? You will have to determine to make the right choices when you are tempted to complain.

How can you make this a part of your life? How? How? How?

How about memorizing the verse?

“Do everything without complaining.”
