The Secret of
Contentment
“Not that I speak in
respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be
content.” (Philippians 4:11)
Today’s Morsel: I was watching
a YouTube documentary a few weeks ago on inground homes. These two guys had
only what looked like a piece of metal pipe with a sharp end and they began to
dig in the ground. And through their determination, persistence, and
skills, they built this wonderful underground home for themselves. They
even included an underground swimming pool with it. It was a dirt home,
but it was absolute beautiful when they finished it. And when it was
completed, they seemed so content. Paul stated that he had learned
that no matter what state he found himself in to be content. Shipwrecked,
imprisonment, hungered, and thirsty yet he thought himself contentment.
One of the best ways to develop contentment is to realize that life is a gift
not a right. If you are not contented with what you already have, chances
are you will not be content with what you would like to have even if you get
it.
Sing: I am, so satisfied, I am, so
satisfied, with my Savior; He means more to me than anything, anything than
this world could ever offer me.
Thought For Today: “If you are not content
with what you already have, chances are you will not be content with what you
would like to have even if you get it.”
