I think I would prefer most instead of all. I think I would like a little more flexibility. I think I would like a few exceptions and allowances.

I say I think because I’m quite certain that the way it is written is the way to maximum joy and satisfaction and blessing.

If I really believe that, then I should prefer all instead of most.

I’m talking about Philippians 2:14 — see what you think.

“Do all things without murmurings and disputings.”

I pray for others, but not like this:

“Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy” (Philippians 1:4).

I wonder what that kind of praying is like.

I know my family would benefit if I prayed like that. So would my church.

Perhaps I don’t pray for these people that way because I don’t love them this way:

“I have you in my heart” (Philippians 1:7).

Then again, maybe I don’t pray as I ought because my focus is too earthly.

Where does God fit in my life?

If my God-consciousness is low, why should my praying be high?

Well, I grab ahold of another verse in Philippians 1 . . . .

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (6).
