Contentment

Are you content with where the Lord has brought you in life or are you bitter that things haven’t turned out like you planned?

The best thing to do with the past and its broken dreams is to let it go.   

Thank God for what He has done in and through your life. Learn the lesson of contentment that the Apostle Paul talked about. 

Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 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.

I’m sure Paul never dreamed he would suffer the perils in his life, but he was content to allow the Lord to have His way. Are you?
