How to become a shining star?

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. Philippians 2:15-16

If you are grumbling or complaining, then you are unhappy with the condition of your life and lacking for something more.

The problem is not so much the lack of what you want but your feelings associated with the void in your life. There is nothing wrong with going before God and presenting your needs and desires and sharing your feelings with Him. But the grumbling needs to stop with God and not go any further.

If you truly believe God has power and authority over all things in heaven and earth, then you ask God for help in filling your lack and then you let go. This lack is now in the hands of God and you have to trust Him to fulfill all your needs.

It also doesn’t do any good to argue with God. You will never win because He will do things His way. You have to learn to be content whether you have an abundance or scarcity in your life.

You become blameless before God and filled with His purity when you depend on Him for all your needs and can be thankful regardless of your circumstances.

You live in a perverse and evil world where greed abounds and many people will sacrifice their godly values to get what they want.

The promise to those who walk with God and look to Him for their every need is they will be like a bright star shining in the night.
