I love Philippians. This letter to the church in Philippi which St. Paul writes while in prison is so encouraging yet also contains deep truths of our faith. Today in chapter 2 Paul says, “14 Do all things without murmuring and arguing, 15so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars in the world.”. 

In the midst of a crooked and perverse generation could certainly apply today. Yet we are called to shine like stars in the world – by doing all things without murmuring and arguing. A great reminder of how we as followers of Jesus are to present ourselves. Children of God, shine.
