Redeemed & Restored: Do Everything Without Grumbling!
“Are you thinking about God at all?”
Today’s episode of Redeemed & Restored is entitled: ‘Do Everything Without What?! Do Everything Without Grumbling!’ Do you find yourself complaining often? Do you get frustrated easily? Ask God if there is something you need to learn. Sometimes God uses events that tempt us into frustration to get our attention. Both anxiety and frustrations are sin and should not be taken lightly. Whatever is not like Jesus is sin! We all struggle sometimes but we must admit and pray for each other’s struggles so that we may be healed.

Philippians 2:12-19:
“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 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 as you hold firmly to the word of life.”

Welcome, I'm Athena!
I start each day by tithing the first hour to the Lord in prayer, reading the word, doing word studies of the Text, and asking God how I can live out what I am reading. This time is usually met with meditation on devotionals that are usually written by dead guys like Oswald Chambers, CS Lewis, Charles Spurgeon, AW Tozer, and Andrew Murray.
Right now, I’m reading a daily devotional with a friend called Tozer on the Almighty God for my focus for the day. It's fun to see individually what pulls us in to spur one another on to good deeds!
The Bible is filled with action steps to walk out in practical and intentional ways. This sets my day in motion to walk it out! I hope this is your heart, too.
Consider this a personal invitation to join me in this journey!
