Attitude of Contentment
I hope that this week has helped you think about your attitudes and how they are helping or hindering your living the life God wants for you. God wants to bless you in times of plenty and in times of need.
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.
Philippians 4:12, 13 (NIV)
Scripture Comment: Paul was content in any situation having whatever he had. He relied on God’s power to give him the strength he needed in order to do what God expected of him. You can rely on that same power to give you all you need. God knows what you need and will give to you according to His will. Paul didn’t focus on what he had, but what he could DO. Paul’s priority was to focus on God and eternity not to gather things on earth. He was thankful for what God had done in his life. Do you rely on your power or God’s power to make it through your days? Do you have an attitude of contentment or are you always looking at what you might have, could have or should have?
Pray: Are you content in your circumstances? Ask God to help you be thankful for what He has given you.
