Word for the day "Learning when to be satisfied"
Philippians 4:11–12 (NKJV) I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 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. Would you like to hear one of life’s great paradoxes? The more we learn to be satisfied with what we have and stop comparing our financial status and status symbols with those around us, the better we feel about ourselves.Learning to be satisfied is a good indication that we’ve learned that God is God, and that His fatherly care and infinite wisdom can be trusted. In fact, all that we stand in need of will be provided at the right time in our lives without failure.Furthermore, those who learn to be satisfied and thankful for what they’ve been given will have more time and energy for the kinds of friendships and relationships that will meet their basic needs and honor God. If you think about it, you’ll find that your attitude toward money and possessions either fuels or cools your emotional stability! Point to ponder- If you have trouble living within your means, you really have two options: you can push harder to make more, or you can promote an atmosphere of contentment for what you have, and in so doing, relieve the pressure on yourself.Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support in the month of June 2017 by partnering with us in efforts to advance the kingdom of God in this 21st century season: Special thanks to Mr. William Wilson, Ms. Annette Straker, Mr. David Straker, Mr. Kenneth Washington, and Ms. Gertrude Scott.
