I have always loved the adventures of Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh.  I think we can all find ourselves somewhere in that story.  Do you have any Eeyore’s in your life?  You know the type everything is always negative, constantly complaining.  They could win the lottery and complain that it didn’t come on a giant check.  Paul reminds us that as followers of Christ we shouldn’t be grumblers or complainers because of all Christ has done for us.  Let’s look at his words from Philippians 2.

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, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. 14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 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 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
