How do you see life? Philippians 4:12,13

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
    What is going on in your life today?  Have you taken time to pray, be quiet, and listen to the LORD?  God desires our company and visitations, yet many times we only come to our Father in Heaven with our wants and needs.  Take time now, if only for a minute, and talk to God, thank Him for all He has done in your life.  I'll wait  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .
   Okay, yesterday in Phil 4:11 we talked about content.  If we could only put ourselves in the place Paul was spiritually.  Philippians 4:12-13 "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. (13) For I can do everything through Christ, who give me strength."
     Philippians 4:12,13 in 3 translations listed and they all have the same meaning.   Paul could get along happily because he could see life from God's point of view.  Paul focuse on what he was called to do, not what he felt he should do.
    Paul had his priorities straight-----do you?  Paul was grateful for everything God had given him --- are you?  Now listen to this next part......
    Paul had detached himself from the NONESSENTIALS so that he could concentrate on the ETERNAL!!
    Many times the desire for better possessions is a longing to fill an empty place in a person's life.  Why do you feel empty?  How can you find true contentment?  The answer lies in your perspective; the answer lies in your priorities; the answer lies in your choice of power!
    So what is the answer!  The answer is the Trinity: God the father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit as comforter.  May your heart be filled with things out of this world - namely JESUS!
    As the song goes---Jesus is the answer for the world today; Above Him there's no other,
Jesus is the way. (andrae_crouch)  May you have a Jesus filled day!!!!
   In Christ's Love and Grace
