It's easy to complain.

Everyone else is doing it.

We can easily think of excuses not to do something.

And we love to hear our own voices. So it's easy to spit out those complaints.

There's always something to complain about.

Complain about the weather. Complain about the boss. Complain about work. Complain about the kids. Complain about the spouse.

And we usually think that our way is the best way to do things.

Arguing is so easy.

But Paul wrote:

"Do all things without grumbling or disputing that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world" (Phil 2:14-15).

When we choose to "do all things without grumbling or disputing" we will "shine as lights in the world."

We'll be different.

Radically different from everyone around us.

So as you go through the day, choose not to complain.

Choose not to argue.

And you'll shine!
