How To Be Content

Philippians 4:12-13 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The Apostle Paul knew how to be content. He had needs. He  snored, sneezed, scratched, and  got cold and hungry.

We have needs---food, shelter, clothing, health or even peace of mind. God knows what they are, but He wants us to tell Him. He wants us to trust Him.

Whether directly or indirectly, God will meet our needs, maybe in unusual ways.

How to be content:

1. Rejoice in what we have.
2. Rejoice in our situation. It could be worse.
3. Realize our strength is in the Lord.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
