Contentment in Christ – Philippians 4:4-13

Posted byMikaela VincentPosted inJoy

“You better not pout.” I was thinking about that phrase the other day. Sometimes, even when God has given us so much, we end up pouting because of something else we want that we can’t have. 

It may be a valid desire, even one placed there by the Lord because He plans to fulfill it one day. But the pouting is not God’s plan. Rest is. Peace. Joy. Grace. Love. Worship. Surrender. JESUS. 

He alone is the fulfillment of all our desires. Psalm 34:7.

What are you wishing for that you can’t have? 

In the end, it matters not whether you were given that or not, but only how did you love? Matthew 22:37-40. 

What does love for God look like right now while you don’t have that? 

And what does love for others look like? 

Ask the Lord to renew your love, so you can SHINE with His peace and joy today.
