Contentment

Scripture:
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 
                                   Philippians  4:12
 
Observation:
It seems that our human nature compiles us to want more and seek more in our lives, and often times the lack of contentment causes us to miss out on the truly important things in life.Paul told the Philippians that he knew what it was to have needs, and he knew what it was to have abundance, but he learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.
 

Application:

Understand that our life does not consist of things.  But rather of taking life one day at a time and giving thanks for all things.  God has promised to supply all of our needs.
Prayer:

Father help us to be content with the things you have given us.  To seek first your kingdom and your righteousness and then you will give us everything we need for our life.
