COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:10–13 ESV
con·tent·ment
noun – a state of happiness and satisfaction.
When think of being satisfied, what comes to your mind? For me, it’s when I’m full from a meal. I can’t eat another bite – I’m satisfied.
So many people don’t know what it means to be satisfied. What it means to say, I’m full. What it means to say, I’m content.
So many men sacrifice their marriages, their children, their friendships because they don’t know how to say, I’m satisfied.
The opposite of contentment is gluttony. But gluttony is more than just over eating. It is the greedy pursuit of more stuff: money, power, praise, acceptance, food, alcohol, etc.
Paul’s secret to contentment was this: I can do all things through Christ. Christ was enough for him. His pursuit wasn’t material things – his pursuit was Christ.
David said something similar in Psalm 23 – “the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” Another way to translate that is to say, “ The Lord is my Shepherd, He’s all I need.”
He’s all we need. That’s the secret to being content. Let’s stop trying to find fulfillment and happiness in things or people. Let’s commit to pursuing Christ and being satisfied in Him.
