Just A Little Bit More

Can I find contentment?

God’s Response

I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. Philippians 4:11-12

Contentment is among life’s most elusive qualities. The answer to “How much is enough?” always seems to be, “Just a little bit more.” The key to Paul’s contentment was that he was grateful for everything God had given him rather than envious of what he didn’t have. Contentment begins with realizing that we aren’t dependent on how much we own. When we realize that there is more to life than accumulating things, everything takes on a new value. Knowing that Jesus gives you strength and help for every situation you face gives you freedom from having to find your security in possessions.

This Is Promising

I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
