August 19, 2018 Our Daily Journey Devotional : Topic - Being Content

- ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Scripture Reading - Phillipians  4 ; 10 - 20
My life’s been enriched by a friend who’s consistently content. Rather than lament what she doesn’t have, she’s chosen to trust Jesus and find deep satisfaction in Him. Through her, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of this valuable quality, and I’ve experienced how wonderful it is to be around someone who displays such deep contentment with God, and with the life and circumstances He’s provided for her.

I’ve also further grasped that contentment isn’t merely a result of our environment or experiences but a state of heart, mind, and soul that needs to be cultivated, as the apostle Paul explains in Philippians 4:10-20.
Giving glory to God, Paul humbly shared that he hadn’t always been content, but that he learned to be. To “learn” means to acquire knowledge by studying. In this passage we observe that Paul’s contentedness (in all circumstances—whether in times of need or abundance) increased as He studied God and grew in understanding of “Christ, who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).
Contentment in Christ prompted Paul to affirm the Philippians and say to them, “As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help when I first brought you the Good News and then traveled on from Macedonia. No other church did this. Even when I was in Thessalonica you sent help more than once” (Philippians 4:15-17). Instead of asking for more, he was content with what they’d given him.
When we’re content in Jesus, it gives us freedom to extend grace to others. And as we increasingly grasp that He’s the secret to finding joy “in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little” (Philippians 4:12-13) we’ll learn, like Paul, to be content in all circumstances.
NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: John 11:37-57
