Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. Philippians 4:11

Well, it’s Monday morning and the reality of going back to work is setting in. For many, this is one of the most difficult days of the week. It’s hard to get back into the work groove, especially when it’s a job you aren’t fond of. Even if it’s a good job, it’s still challenging to start on day 1.

Be content is the message for today. Although that job might not be the best, has its difficulties or is just one routine day after another, it is a job, providing you financial resources to survive. Be content in your current state and thank God for His blessings. Without a job you might be in serious trouble, like homeless or struggling to provide for your family.

How can we be content when things aren’t the best? I believe we need to take our eyes off our selves and the problems we have and look to God for direction, trust in His care to meet our needs and be thankful in all circumstances. When we do these things, we can learn to be content in all matters of life. God knows your needs and He provides what’s necessary when you look to Him in confidence…knowing He blesses you according to His will.

No matter what happens in life, find contentment through your faith in Jesus Christ. Believe that God knows where you are in life and is watching over you with His protective hand. NOTHING comes to you that hasn’t been permitted by God. He will equip you for the day! Trust Him in confidence and find contentment in every day. God bless!
