Set The Tone
Beth Jones
"In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing so that no one can speak a word of blame against you. You are to live clean, innocent lives as children of God in a dark world full of people who are crooked and stubborn. Shine out among them like beacon lights, holding out to them the Word of Life." Philippians 2:14-16
Would you like to stand out in this dark, crooked, stubborn world? Would you like to extend a beacon of hope to people who are lost, empty and living in confusion, hurt and pain?
The good news is - you CAN! You can make a difference today! You can set a different tone in your place of work, school, neighborhood or home.
It all starts with one little thing - our mouth!
Instead of complaining, murmuring, faultfinding, grumbling and arguing like those who don’t live for the Lord, as Christians we should be noticeably different. We should speak words of gratitude, thankfulness, encouragement, hope, faith and positivity.
Today, let’s be super intentional to be people who change the atmosphere in our part of the world by being speaking life!
Say This: "Father, help me to eliminate complaining, faultfinding, arguing, murmuring and grumbling from my life. I want to be a beacon of light and hope to the people that surround me. I ask You to help me infuse my world with the positive, hopeful, faith-filled reality of Jesus Christ! In Jesus' Name. Amen."
