Paul said, "... I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content." (Philippians 4:11). Paul learned not to let what he didn't have overshadow what he had. How do you find contentment? Contentment isn't something you find at a particular destination - it is something you practise everyday. You must learn to come to a place where you believe that having more materially won't make you happier. Sometimes contentment calls for simplifying your life. Cultivate the ability to say, "I have enough." Push back from life's table and say, "I've had enough.' To be content, focus on eternity. Let enough be enough. Let your lifestyle be biblically-based; make it eternally focused!
Day 190 - Enjoy God! Read Psalm 148; Proverbs 7:4-6; Revelation 9; 2 Samuel 21-22 2 Samuel 22 v30 - By God, I can run against a troop and by my God, I can leap over a wall v33 - God is my strength and power! He makes my way perfect! Reading the above verses warmed my heart as I recalled the sweet victory I had as I trusted God when He assured me exactly with the above verses way back in 1994 when I did my Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP). It was the first day of exam and my Quiet Time for that day turned out to be reading the above verses. What a joy! What an assurance! I knew by God and with God, I could leap over CLP examination and would cross over the challenge and would pass to do my chambering. True enough, I passed and started my chambering in 1995. All glory to God! Hence, how important for us to keep reading God's Words as our loving Heavenly Father is so eager to speak and communicate with us. Please do run to Him, embrace and enjoy the sweet communion and taste...
