Content in Whatever Circumstances
.Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am,
to be content: - (Philippians 4:11) (NKJV).
The wrist watch of a man was constantly whining, "Hmm. Only this man looks at me. I am useful only to this man. But look at that wall clock! A lot of
people look at it. I wish I were like that!" The man could not bear it anymore and one day he said, "So you want to be like that wall clock!" and hung
it on the wall. But, alas nobody can look at it. It has gone to the height it wanted but could not be useful to anybody. It became useless.
.
Our Lord Jesus Christ has placed each one of us in the best place and position according to His eternal will. But we fail to look at our good status
and look at others and long for things they have. We want to live like others not satisfied with what we have.
.
But whatever God has given us - the husband, job and belongings - are the best for us. Let us not forget that. Let us not compare what we have with
others and get depressed. Let us be content with the position in the work and the house the Lord has given. Let us not crave for what we do not have
but give thanks for what we have. May the Lord bless us.
.
Be happy
Be happy always
In ups and downs
The Almighty God is with us!
.
Prayer: Our loving good Lord, we praise you. Grant us grace to enjoy whatever we have. Help us to be content with what we have. Help us not to yearn
for what others have, but be happy for them. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen."
.
God Bless you.
