In Philippians 2:14-16 we read about God’s command to stop complaining. Complaining is an expression of your dissatisfaction with how things are and ultimately a complaint towards God. It is a sinful habit that can be dressed up in phrases such as “venting” or “getting something off your chest.” An attitude of contentment or discontentment drastically affects our witness in the world. By being familiar with what God’s Word says, about his goodness and sovereignty we are able to be “lights.” Understanding that our faithfulness to this command can bring joy to the people discipling us, should motivate us.
