No Matter

Philippians 4:11b
...For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances!


Take a look at any tv program and you will see commericals offering products you have to have to make your life better - to bring you contentment - but sadly nothing they could ever offer could bring any of us lasting freedom from our chains - no product was designed to make us content - the stuff of this world is never enough - I was struggling with this very thing today - I wanted to buy something that I "needed" but every time I thought about it - I kept feeling I should not buy it - I didn't have the money - and after all it was not gonna make me feel any more content then I already was! I have to admit I have gone through some very bad circumstances in the past couple of years - but GOD has seen me through it all - GOD has always made a way for me when there was no way it could have been done without HIM! I passed up buying what I wanted but got something better - peace! The world may offer peace but true peace only comes from a relationship with JESUS CHRIST! Paul was content with the circumstances of his life -and if anyone could have complained it was Paul - I mean he was put in jail for preaching the gospel - He was beaten - He was ship wrecked - and blinded - he could complain and no one would have blamed him - and yet he wrote these words - he was content - no matter the circumstance - he has a message for us today - I don't really know anyone of you who recieve this daily that has ever been in jail - now this may be forwarded to someone who was in jail at one time - of course some of those people may be in jail right now - God is placing this on my heart - someone caught in jail needs to hear this message- these words of Paul where not written from a palace or a church - but jail - Paul was locked up and wrote these words! May that message sink in deep in your life today - I pray for you to hear God's voice and to know that no matter what - God has a plan and God loves you!

Word to the wise:
If you think this world is gonna make you happy - you are in the wrong place!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we can be content!
