Wholesome -make the effort

“… make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.”
2 Peter 3:14

Do all things without grumbling and arguing.

"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. " Philippians 2:14-15 NIV

In the Amplified Version, the Word reads (something along the lines of), "Do everything without grumbling and complaining... be a bright light in this dark world...".   These verses bring me to the questions, If God were to come and show himself to you, would your life shine, or would your life be dark and dreary?  Are you proud to show God your life, or are you hoping He's not noticing right now?  Now, don't be misled, God notices everything, but sometimes, since we don't see Him, we think He doesn't, which leads us to fall into the flesh pretty easily. 

Therefore, work on making your life one that you are proud to show off for God.  Yes, it is extremely hard on occasion, but I believe the harder it is to be the light in the darkness, the more God is using your life as an example and a blessing to many who don't know Him.  Which also means, the more you fight to be shining light for God's glory, the more abundantly His good fortunes, blessings, and love, will be showered over you - and those are definitely good things which no one wants to miss.

Clear, unshaken, and blameless conscience.

"Therefore I always exercise and discipline myself [mortifying my body, deadening my carnal affections, bodily appetites, and worldly desires, endeavoring in all respects] to have a clear (unshaken, blameless) conscience, void of offense toward God and toward men."  Acts 24:16 AMP

Boy, I sure wish more of us would spend time on this type of exercise and discipline -  what an amazing place the world would be to live in if we did!  Plus, a lot healthier, happier, and loving, too!

Let me ask you, Is your conscience clear and void of offense against God and man?  If not, why don't you take time to make it right; start a new trend and be an example?  Although we may not be able to change the world, I believe that if each of us make type of exercise and discipline a priority, we will be able to greatly change our personal attitudes, health, well-being, and joy, and those attributes will eventually spread to those around you, helping to change this world - one person at a time.
