Fresh Brewed Sundays: Contentment

Morning Myst

"Not that I am 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. I can do all things through him who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:11-13 ESV)

I love how God reaches me with His words right where I am.  As I read these words this week, they were exactly the reminder I needed. Contentment does not come from wealth, success, health, or possessions, but from the feet of Christ.  It comes from wholly depending on Him, for when I am weak, He is strong and His grace is always sufficient.
