Are you content? Do you live as Paul?

Good morning all! Well, my computer has locked up 3 things now, so we will see if this will go through. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! Paul has been talking about talking the talk and walking the walk. Do you?

We all know Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."But, do we know verse 12? "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." Can you say this? What is Paul's secret?

Paul could get along happily because he could see life from God's 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 this desire for more or better possessions is really a longing to fill an empty place in a person's 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! What are yours? Thank you for reading today. Love you all!

In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
