THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT

LETS ALL GO DOWN TO THE RIVER AND SEE THE MAN WALKING ON THE RIVER.
IS IT BECAUSE HE HAS THE POWER TO WALK ON WATER THAT YOU FOLLOW HIM?
i FOLLOW HIM BECAUSE HE DIED FOR MY SIN'S AND GIVES TO ME NEW LIFE.

PHILLIPIANS 4:4-13
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Thanks for Their Gifts
10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12 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.
13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
WHAT A WONDERFUL SCRIPTURE TO START THE NEW YEAR.
BE ASSURED THAT THE LORD IS NEAR, JUST A PRAYER AWAY.
HE HAS PROMISED OVER AND OVER IN HIS WORD “I AM WITH YOU”

1 CONTENT WITH WHO I AM
(BERNADINE SAYS SHE IS MORE SO
THAN I AM)
2 CONTENT WITH WHERE I AM
(I LOVE THE SONG ‘HIGHER GROUND’
I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY
STILL PRAYING AS I’M UPWARD BOUND
LORD PLANT MY FEET ON HIGHER GROUND)
(EXCEPT WHEN I TAKE MY EYES OFF HIM AND LOOK AT SELF)
3 CONTENT WITH WHAT I HAVE
(MOSTLY)
I HAVE A SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST
AND A WONDERFUL WIFE,
THREE GREAT CHILDREN
FIVE GRAND DAUGHTERS
AND FOUR BEAUTIFUL GREAT GREAT GRANDCHILDREN
WHAT MORE COULD A MAN HAVE NEED OF.
KNOWING THAT THE LORD IS NEAR
OVER AND OVER THE SCRIPTURE PROCLAIMS
I WILL BE WITH YOU
WHAT A PROMISE!
