I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. (Philippians 4:11)
Do we have these kind of questions that we have to answer in our lives: Is my performance is not up to par? Is my weight at where it should be? Is my current status at work enough? Is my current financial status enough? Do I own enough possessions to feel secure?
When can we say we have enough and start to not desire for more?
It's even easier to slip into recognizing what we don't have financially and then pursue that. But before money, possessions, health, or any other thing can be truly enjoyed, we first have to learn that contentment is not based on our circumstances but our salvation.
Help us, Lord, to learn contentment when life is rough.
Protect us from believing the lie that
having more will bring us happiness. May we be content with what You have given.
