"How to Live a Holy Life"

'"
"Do all things without murmurings and disputings." Phil. 2:14. Let thy
life be free from all frettings and worryings. Let it be like the calm
flowing of the river. God is a strong and high tower, a refuge, a shield.
With our life hidden in him, worries and frettings can not reach us. We
may be treated unjustly by a bosom friend, but we commit it to God, and
instead of feeling the wound the friend gives, we feel the balm our Father
gives.
"Be content with such things as ye have." Heb. 13:5. "I have learned, in
whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Phil. 4:11. He who has
gained contentment has gained more than he who has gained the wealth of a
world, if it be contentment with godliness. A discontented life is a dark
spot on the page of human history. An even, contented life is as a
lighthouse shedding its peaceful beams over the turbulent waters where
voyagers come and go.
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phil. 4:13.
"I am mighty enough for all things through Christ who empowers me."--
Rotherham. There is no excuse for your not living a perfectly victorious
life today.
