Scripture: Philippians 4 [12] I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.<\/p>\n
Observation: I also have been through all phases in my life where I made more money than I thought I could and being in bankruptcy. Yet in either situation was I content. I always had my desires measure whether I was content or not and my desires always were of the world. Even after becoming a Christian in some of my most spiritual moments and blessings of God, my mind would still dwell on the secular things of life.<\/p>\n
Application: Stop measuring situations and things by the standards of this world and measure them by God\u2019s. God has given me everything I need and this life is almost over and I\u2019ll be home where I belong. My content should be based on how I\u2019m living for God and not myself. At the end of each day my contentment should always be found in my relationship with Christ.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Father you have supplied beyond my needs and blessed me with things that I know I don\u2019t deserve. Guide me each day in knowing what blesses You and then show me how I may please You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
