Philippians 4:11

Philippians 4:11 - Not that I speak in regard to need,for I have learned  in which state I am, to be Content.
           
 : Theres the word " Content again ! Yay! " In this verse we learn once again how important  it is to be content. God wants us to be content in Him.  Even though we may go through our rough days in life where we literally feel like ripping our hair out of our heads. For me, when it comes to certain aspects like doing loads of homework, I find myself getting aggrivated with the certain things that  that are being put on my schedule plate. The devil starts lying to me and tantalilzing me saying " If you don't get this or that done, you will be being seen as a laughing stock or a failure. " My flesh, of course is weak, and I must confess that sometimes I find myself believing those slanderous lies and thats where my aggrivation begins. I, and everyone else in the world, sometimes need to relize that not being content with the homework or work in general that we have will just lead us into a tail spin.


APPLICATION : Tomorrow I will sit in the living room and do my homework with no grumbling or sulking, I will make sure that it gets done and that i will do my work to glorify my Father in heaven and not to just get it out of the way. And if i need help? I will ask one of my team mates for assistance. :)

Luke 21 ;19

Luke 21:19 - By your patience, possess your souls. : Here Jesus is talking about patience. " By patience, possess your souls." Patience is key in a believers walk with our heavenly Father. If we are patient, and wait on Him, He will certainly back us up in our spiritual walk with Him, especially in our troubling  times. Our God is a just God, a awesome God who delights in the patience of His children. If we are not patient and don't wait on God, this will grieve our Father immensily . Being patient in tough circumstances is beneficial to the christians way of life. we must always remember that , our Father has our back , no matter how hard the day may be or how loud the spiritual warfare in our heads may get. APPLICATION : Tomorrow, I will be patient if spiritual warfare or conflict comes my way. i will give all my frustrations and worries to my Father in Heaven and will always keep in mind that in tough trials, He has my back, if only I cry out to Him.

Faith

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things unseen : In this verse .it talks about how faith is the substance of things hoped for . Jesus said "If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains." This is very true !!  if we believe in the Lord our God , whom is very much real but yet unseen , and if we put all our faith in Him, He can help us in the thick and thin of our every day life . Believe it or not, I learned that during my childhood. I had a childhood experience that I will never forget. I know this may sound very far fetched, but, it is the truth that I know most people who have had the same incident happen, would definitley believe. I must have been 7 years of age at the time when this took place . It was a week after my 7th birthday that me and my friend were playing with a flying disc, or as it is called ,frisby at the time in the backyard and were laughing and carrying on like children do, when my frien

Hebrews 13:5

  Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself said "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." : In this verse, as we read we notice that it tells us to be content with the things we have and not be covetous.Being content with what we have can sometimes be a bit difficult. as humans, we tend to want more and more or tend to become envious of what others have that we don't. We have the urge to crave more and have more, yet forgetting that we should be happy with what God has provided for us. although there are even some people out there who are content with what our father has provided for them. One such soul was a coal miner, he was dirt poor with only the bread on his table and wore shaggy tattered clothes, he also lived in a shack by himself that was worn down and could easily fall over any day. The question was, did that man complain? No! in fact he said the most heartwarming thing that he could
