DO YOU WANT TO BE BLAMELESS AND HARMLESS?

 Do You Want to Be Blameless and Harmless? 

“Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 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;” Philippians 2:14–15 (KJV)

The Word of God is truly the light of God. He is bold to tell us the state of the current generation or nation. He calls it crooked and perverse because this current generation is becoming too familiar with sin and devising so many ways for corruption (Matthew 16:4, Luke 11:29). Thus, the child of God must be sober and vigilant to identify the enemy’s craftiness regarding sin and avoid it. The opening scripture highlighted two things we shouldn’t do in order to be blameless and harmless in our corrupt generation: murmurings and disputing or arguing. We murmur to show disapproval, and dispute or argue to express our view when we feel we are being misunderstood. Remember that the children of Israel were fond of murmuring and disputing, which rekindled the wrath of God and He punished them (Numbers 14:2, 16:41–48). Beloved, He punished them because murmuring and arguing show a lack of faith. The God we serve rewards faith; therefore, He is pleased when we walk with Him in faith (Hebrews 11:6). No wonder His Word said the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). Beloved, let us not compromise our faith in this perverse generation but shine in righteousness, trusting the Lord in His Word, and we will have lots of testimonies to share. Hallelujah! Glory to God!

Prayer Point: My precious and loving Father, I have learned to stop all murmuring and arguing. Thank You for this admonition. Please let me continually trust You in Your Word so I may enjoy all the promises You have for my life in Jesus’ name. Amen!
