💒Shalom beloved family of God. Here is the word for today.💒
📖Phil. 4:11-12“I am not speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need” 📖
🔷Develop The Attitude To Choose to Be Content with Christ Alone🔷
✅Of the four choices we have shared this week, this one is by far the toughest. In fact, it really takes a lifetime for us to get this one down. Being content with Christ alone is a difficult attitude to gauge in this 21st century because we have so much more than Jesus Christ.
✅Contentment Is Learned. The biggest miss for most people, including Christians, is that true contentment is learned. It is not something that is downloaded in two seconds. It’s something which is developed through practicing patience and faith.
✅But how do we learn contentment? By thinking, meditating, or dwelling on Christ (Phil. 4:8)—that is, thinking on what you have gained in Him, and realizing that what is lost is nothing compared to what is found in Him. It also means thinking on the brevity of life and the reality of death and God’s promise to rescue and redeem all those who come to Him, letting these things drive you to humble thanksgiving and joyful gratitude.
✅What we can do is to walk in this attitude on a daily basis when deals fall through, when people let us down, when losses come. We can practice the discipline of saying “Jesus, You are enough. If all I have is You, I’m okay.” Contentment boils down to accepting with gratitude whatever God has in mind for us, surrendering our own ideas of what is necessary in exchange for His idea of it.
✅Adopt a healthy attitudes on daily basis by disciplining yourself to enjoy time with God in prayer, yielding to others, and cultivating thoughts of gratitude for God’s grace. Regardless of the size of the challenge, know that all of these attitudes are possible because they are all commanded and exemplified in Scripture.So choose wisely and have a blessed week in Jesus Name. 🙏🙏🙏
