Trusting Instead of Grumbling!

After reflecting on today's devotional, I had to admit that it sometimes describes my reactions to "life." - I'm so trusting when things go well, but that trust tends to "slow down" when problems occur!

Earlier today I was reading Philippians 2:13-15:
 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. Surely God is giving us a nudge on the importance of trusting our Lord in all circumstances - and to stop grumbling when things don't go as we think they should. Will you join me in praising our Lord for all His nudges as He guides us to do His Work and His Will?  What a glorious feeling to think that we might "shine...like stars in the sky!"
