The Secret Of Being Content

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. - Philippians 4:12 NIV

Paul said he had learned the secret of being content in every situation. The principle of seedtime and harvest is part of it, but Paul goes into more detail in the previous verses. He said to 1) Rejoice, 2) Do not be anxious, 3)Be thankful and make your requests to God, 4) Think and meditate on good thoughts. You may be facing the toughest scenario today. You may have your back against the wall, a stack of bills you no longer know how to pay, a spouse who's walked out on you, or even a concern of where your next meal will come from. You may have a concern like us about someone invading your privacy by braking in to your home and stealing your personal items. People may have done you wrong, treated you bad, and said mean and unkind things about you. You may be so far down that the only direction you can look is up! However, if you'll take the apostle Paul's advice and practice these things, and think "God thoughts", you'll find that God does, and will meet all of your needs according to His riches in glory too.

Have A Blessed day
