From Judy: You might want to memorize one of today's passages for the days you especially need encouragement and hope. I find reading all of Philippians 4 helps focus my actions and thoughts on Christ and His power. We all need to remember Paul's secret during the circumstances we are passing through in these hard economic times.
(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.
(19) And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Good Morning Judy,
This text is a reminder to me of the years when finances were uppermost in my mind; of times when I would have to return bottles to the store for enough money for hamburger for dinner. I wasn't content then, I didn't have Jesus in my life. Now that I do know Him personally the difficult and often frightening times are not nearly so overwhelming. I know that "...my God will meet all my needs..."
Judy, I agree. Knowing Jesus is the secret to peace, comfort and contentment...and JOY! A secret to be shared. I pray daily that God will make me aware of when, how, what and with whom I am to share. A lot of times it is just a smile or a hug.
