More, More, More
February 15, 2012

Now that my daughter is learning to talk, she has adopted a favorite word: more. She will say “more” and point to toast with jam. She held out her palm and said “More!” when my husband gave her some coins for her piggy bank. She even exclaimed, “More Daddy!” one morning after her father left for work.

Like my little one, many of us look around and call for “more.” Unfortunately, enough is never enough. We need the power of Christ to break the cycle so that we can say with Paul, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content” (Phil. 4:11).

The phrase “I have learned” tells me that Paul did not meet every situation with a smile. Learning contentment required practice. His testimony included ups and downs ranging from snake bites to soul-saving; false accusations to founding churches. Yet he claimed that Jesus was the answer to soul-level satisfaction. He said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (v.13). Jesus had given him the spiritual muscle to endure lean times and to avoid the pitfalls of abundance.

If you find yourself angling for “more, more, more,” remember that contentment comes when you have “more” of Christ.

Fret not for want of earthly things;
They’ll never satisfy.
The secret of contentment is
To let the Lord supply. —D. De Haan

True contentment is not dependent on anything in this world.

Read: Philippians 4:10-20

I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. —Philippians 4:11

Bible in a year:
Numbers 34-36

I join in earnest prayer for Roy!

in a new neighborhood."

"It's hard to concentrate on the work at hand When a kitten is playing at your feet."

"The joy of my house tiptoes from room to room on silent paws."

"A new kitten will turn your house upside down and
at the same time make everything seen right."

Paul breathing fire was a persecutor of the followers of Jesus Christ. After his Damascus road experience, Paul took time to learn anew. Then he set forth to teach and tell the story of Jesus Christ. He suffered many serious situations to the point of death and perhaps he did die. The grievous nature of his many trials did not dissuade him ever. He had put his hand to the plow and he NEVER looked back. Thank you, Paul, he wrote many of the books of the Holy Bible. What would the Bible be like ... if the books he authored were not there? No one else had his experiences. He gave us one of the several accounts of trials and severe attacks for being a follower of Christ Jesus. He persevered to the end! Hallelujah!!! AMEN.

Beautiful opening and quotes, Amy and Lori.

I won’t be here much either. I have so much catching up to do around her and have to go pay my county taxes. Paid the City last month. I may have to come and live with you...LOL! They take a lot of money from me this time of year.
