Shout it out: I have LEARNED how to be CONTENT with whatever I Have. I Know how to LIVE on almost nothing or with everything. I have LEARNED the SECRET of Living in Every Situation, whether it is with a Full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. FOR I CAN DO EVERYTHING THROUGH CHRIST, WHO GIVES ME STRENGHT!! (Philippians 4:11:13). Paul could get along happily because he could SEE LIFE from Gods POINT of VIEW. HE FOCUSED on what he was SUPPOSED TO DO, Not what he FELT he Should Have. Paul had his PRIORITIES STRAIGHT, and he was GRATEFUL for everything God had given him. Paul had Detached himself from the NONESSENTIALS so that he could CONCENTRATE on the ETERNAL. Often the Desire for more or better possessions is really a longing to fill an Empty place in a persons Life. To what are you Drawn when you feel Empty Inside? How can you find True Contentment? The answer Lies in your PERSPECTIVE, your Priorities, and your Source of power.. Can we really do everything? The Power we Recieve in UNION with Christ is SUFFICIENT to Do His Will and to face the Challenges that arise from our COMMITMENT to doing it. He does not Grant us Superhuman ability to accomplish anything we can imagine without regard to His interest. As we Contend for the Faith, we will face troubles, pressures, and trials. As they come, ask Christ to strenghten you. Reminds me that no matter what is happening or coming my way, I will not be Knocked down. I can feel the arrows of doubt and disbelief trying to penetrtate my heart to shake me up, but I sens a STRONG FORTRESS, LIKE IRON, PROTECTING my heart and that is Gods Perfect LOVE and PEACE. With each trial I go through, the Lord Changes me and Strengthens me. Rom 5:4 God LOVES us, because He has Given us His Holy Spirit to FILL our HEARTS with His LOVE. There are THREE things that will ENDURE - FAITH, HOPE and LOVE - and the GREATEST of this is LOVE (1Cor1313).
