Story:
Well the thing for you and me to do is just be content in whatever state we are in!
Philippians 4: 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I live right on the state line so if I get discontent in one state is Paul saying that I can move to the other state and be happy. No friend, just be happy with where you are at with whatever you have!
Be content with what you have because, you may be like Esau and get what you wanted but lose what you have. Or, you may be like Judas and get the thirty pieces of silver but lose what you already have.
Your wife may have gained a hundred pounds since the wedding, but you had better be thankful for her. She keeps your clothes pressed and the kids and house clean. If she has a good meal on the table three times a day, you might better hold on to her!
Wives, your husband may have gained a hundred pounds and lost his hair. But if he makes you and your children a good living, loves and takes care of you and your kids, you’d better not let him go either. So many people have traded something good off to find out that it was much better than what they traded for.
If you have food on the table, a savings account, didn’t have to sleep in a car, you are so much better off than millions who don’t have those things. There are people overseas who would almost paddle a canoe to get to the United States and be where you are at. You had better be thankful! We have a life that some people only dream about. You had better hang on to your place and what you have got, there are people who would gladly trade with you.
Scripture:
Matthew 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
