"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"
Hebrews 13:5
It isn't easy to be content, especially in the world we live in. Every "voice" around us is telling us that we don't have enough or we don't have the right things, we don't look the right way, we don't have the right job, we don't have the right friends or we don't eat the right food. How are we ever suppose to feel content when we are bombarded with these messages? We turn off those voices, is what we do. We need to press in to the Lord and His Word. We turn our focus on being grateful, which in turn helps us to feel content. We don't always want to express gratitude when we don't like our circumstances, but I know from experience that when I am grateful anyway, my perspective changes and I experience His peace. For no matter the situation, He has promised that He will never leave us or forsake us. How awesome is that?!?
