JUST A “LITTLE” MORE

You say, "If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied."  You make a mistake.  If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled. –Spurgeon

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11

There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to improve your situation in life. There is nothing wrong with getting an education, getting training, or even moving up the corporate ladder to improve your finances. But in a world that attempts to persuade us that we need more of this or that, God says, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Timothy 6:6 So what do we do?

            Pray, asking God to give you wisdom and direction.            

            Go through the open doors and stop when the door closes.

            Be patient and wait on the Lord, having faith He will bring to pass what is best for you in this life!

Overcome or Overtaken?

Satan would tempt us to despair; but good hope keeps us trusting in God and rejoicing in him. –Henry

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 31:24

So many things to pull us down. So much going on in this world to leave us hopeless. So much pain and suffering. So much wickedness. So many reasons to be overtaken with temptation. But I am reminded…Greater is He that is in you than He that is in this world! So instead of being overtaken, we can overcome those temptations by Him! Hallelujah what a Saviour!
