Journey
“I have heard the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plent or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:12-13
Dear Lord, when I was a child, my father drove along a raoid where a rainbow seemed to end over the next hill. But no matter how far we traveled, we never reached the end of the rainbow. It was always ahead of us.
Father, as an adult I have set many goals that i thought would bring me contentment if I could only achieve then, But I discovered that no matter what I achieved, contentment stayed out of reach. Thank You for showing me that contentment is not a destination but the way I make my journey.
Lord, help me set worthy gaols and encourage my children to do the same. But also guide us to set gaols base on what You want us to do rather than what we imagine will bring pleasure, success, and contentment. Instead of looking forward in discontent for better situations, let us focus n what You have given us. May we see our cup as running over with Your blessings.
Amen
