Hello Everyone,
We see that Contentment is something that must be learnedPhilippians 4:12b “...I have learned the secret of being content…”Where does a person learn the secret to contentment?•Is it during the times where you find yourself full or is it during the times where you find yourself hungry? •Is it during the times where you find yourself living in plenty or is during the times where you find yourself living in want?The answer is both! Contentment is being the very same person regardless of the circumstances.
What has a person learned that allows him or herself to find the secret to contentment? They have learned that in order to find contentment they must get themselves into a right relationship with GodThe very SOURCE of all our contentment comes from having a right relationship with God.Whenever we lose our contentment it’s always because we have somehow neglected our relationship with GodHow do you know when you have gotten yourself into a right relationship with God?When you are experiencing God’s strength.You and I are like rechargeable batteries. When we lose the charge we have to be recharged. We get recharged through having a right relationship with God.
· When we read, study and apply God’s word we are recharged.
· When we pray we are recharged.
· When we worship together on Sunday’s and Wednesday’s we are recharged.
· When we share our faith we are recharged.
So what does life look like for those who find the secret of contentment?Oh How HE Loves Us!
