At times we may find ourselves complaining over petty matters throughout the week or even in church meetings. In Philippians chapter 2, Paul discusses how we must do all things without murmuring and disputings that we may be found blameless and harmless. By doing so we will shine like a light unto the world.

Some people today, especially the youth, may find that the testimony that they have is actually a the testimony of someone that they look up to, because they have not sought after one for themselves. If we do not work towards our own testimony we are failing ourselves. A man may say he believes, but if he does nothing to make that belief or faith a moving power to do, to accomplish, to produce soul growth, his professing will avail him nothing.

There are those who are investigating the church but are hesitant because they are being told that they will be exiled by their own families. But if we remember what is said in Philippians 4, we can remember that we can do all. It reads, “13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” While it may be hard, Christ has suffered all sorrow and through him we can have the power to conquer all if it be his will.

If we are willing to harken to the promptings of the Holy Ghost we will be able to hear the words of Christ and if we truly feast on those words and try to understand them we will find that the Lord is willing to tell us all things if we are worthy to receive them.
