Get Your “Wanter” Fixed

December 5, 2013

Read: Philippians 4:4-13

I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. —Philippians 4:11
Bible in a Year:
Daniel 1-2; 1 John 4

When my wife was a young girl in Austin, Texas, Carlyle Marney was her family’s neighbor, pastor, and friend. One of his off-hand remarks about being content became one of her family’s enduring expressions: “Dr. Marney says, ‘We just need to get our wanter fixed.’”

It’s so easy to want more than we need and to become more focused on getting than on giving. Soon, our desires dictate our choices.

When the apostle Paul wrote to the followers of Jesus in the city of Philippi, he told them, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content . . . . I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need” (Phil. 4:11-12). Paul was saying, in effect, “I’ve had my ‘wanter’ fixed.” It’s important to note that Paul was not born with contentment. He learned it in the difficult circumstances of everyday life.

During this season of the year, when shopping and buying often take center stage in so many countries and cultures, why don’t we decide to focus on being satisfied in our present circumstances? It may sound difficult, but Paul, when talking about learning to be content said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (v.13).

Help us, Lord, to learn contentment when life is
rough. Protect us from believing the lie that
having more will bring us happiness. May we be
content with what You have given.
Contentment begins with having fewer wants.

Hope you are having a Terrific Thursday.

Hi ML

Getting back to AP’s after a nap. LOL

It got very cold here last night .... into the 20’s. I went to bed to get warm. After being out early this morning, the winter pigeon caught my eye.

We had to take Marissa to school this morning; she had to be there at 5:45. Brrrrr.

The eight grade took a field trip to Sacramento. They will visit the Capital and then spend time at the Railroad Museum. Those kids looked miserable as they were huddled together waiting for the school bus to arrive. They will get back about 5:00.
