“Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain”
Philippians 2:14-16 (KJV).
Murmuring is to make complaining remarks, mostly undertone. This is a hindrance to the blessings of God. Be careful not to develop a wicked, evil, or unbelieving heart, for such a heart will cause you to turn away from God. We are to do everything without murmuring or complaining. Murmuring, complaining, or speaking negative words opens the door for the devil to steal, kill, and destroy the life in your spiritual seed sown, and as a result, the seed does not get the opportunity to sprout to produce your harvest, and there is no blessing.
The Word of God is Spirit and Life. What the devil is after in the life of the believer is to still the truth (the Word of God) from that individual. It is therefore important to guard your heart where the Word of God is written. When you do all things with the sincerity of heart, you will shine like the stars, meaning your progress will appear to all men. God Himself will magnify you in the eyes of the brethren.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I take grace to do all things without murmuring or disputing. I declare that I am a blameless and harmless child of God, without rebuke. I shine as a light in this world, holding forth the word of life, that I may rejoice in the day of Christ in the name of the Lord Jesus.
