Be Content

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Philippians 4:10-13

Worship song: Contentment

 


Meditation:

    Contentment is an emotional state of satisfaction that suggests one is at ease mentally and finds serenity in the situation he or she currently faces despite the challenges. Paul’s letter, written while in prison, addresses the Philippians (his fellow laborers), informing them that he had learned to be content in his present state. Paul was sent to prison because he was preaching the gospel, yet he was content. Being content does not have anything to do with money, worldly possessions, or other people. It is finding inner peace and accepting ourselves and our circumstances. We can find contentment not in the things we possess but in Jesus Christ, our Lord and King. If we trust Jesus and live our lives to please Him, we will find inner peace. When we accept Jesus, our circumstances cannot rob us of contentment and inner joy. The secret of living a contented life is to be satisfied with little, give thanks for all things, live above life’s circumstances, and constantly walk in the purpose of Almighty God.

 

Let us Pray:

    Shepherd of my life, my Saviour, and King, we, your children, often struggle to be content and find ourselves focusing on our needs instead of committing to your will and focusing totally on You. Almighty God, at times we forget that you have graciously provided us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Jehovah, help us to be content in You and with what You have blessed us with. Teach us, Abba Father, to be content in our situations and wait graciously and patiently upon you, O God. Keep our hearts from being anxious about what we don’t have, and give us a grateful and thankful heart so we can appreciate the gifts of your blessings. Almighty God, please fill us with the joy and satisfaction of contentment and help us to be content in all circumstances. Almighty God, remind us that you are with us, and you will never leave nor forsake us. Jehovah God, when we have come to the end of ourselves, the end of our selfish, self-seeking desires, and realized that contentment is only found when we seek you with our whole heart, carry us, Father. Gracious God, I commit this prayer unto thee through my Advocator, Jesus Christ, most high. Amen.

Have a great day. 💕🙏

    Give thanks with a grateful heart is the song to sing every day. It is the devils intention for one to worry and become weak in doing so without realizing. It should be everyone desire to draw close to the Lord so the things of this world will grow strange and dim. In a world of wealth and great materialism what happened to David can happen to anyone. When he sees the prosperity of the wicked his feet almost slip but when he goes into the house of the Lord he had a clearer understanding and see the reward of the wicked and he was encouraged to hold to God's unchanging hands and build his hope on things eternal. God bless you richly. One step forward every day.

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

 Day of prayer   O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. Psalm 118:1   Worship song: Thanks   Let us pray:      Almighty one, let your mercy prevail over us, O God, breathe upon us afresh and renew our mindset until it overflows with gratitude and thankfulness as we celebrate with appreciation your goodness, grace, and mercy.

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
