“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 4:11-13 ESV)

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’”

(Hebrews 13:5-6 ESV)

God gave me a message the other day. He said to be happy with what I have. Good things are coming, but first, be happy with what you have.

I have been reminding God of something He promised me years ago. I guess I forgot that God doesn’t forget. When He told me to be happy with what I have, I realized I that while I am far from rich, I am rich compared to some people. God reminded me that there are people worse off than me. I have a roof over my head, clothes to wear, a car that gets me where I need to go and food to eat. By some standards, I am abundantly rich.

So I have decided that I will stop reminding God of things and just be happy with what I have. 

Are you happy with what you have? It really doesn’t matter how much material things you have. As long as you have God, you are the rich beyond measure. 

Have a blessed day, everyone.
