Was reminded of this theme through His Word yesterday...CONTENTMENT
Apostle Paul spoke of having learnt the secret of being content (Phil 4:12-13):
"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. I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
The writer of Hebrews exhorts us (Hebrews 13:5)
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."
Am I being content in all circumstances? ...I don't think so... for there are times when I find myself wanting more...especially in such a materialistic world. But I guess that's where my tough training is.
Can I trust God all the days of my life, whether in plenty or in need? I hope so
