Never Satisfied But Always Content

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Philippians 3:7-14

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. —Philippians 3:14

Tiger Woods is clearly the greatest golfer of his generation. His ability to perform under pressure and win is becoming legendary. Yet what motivates Woods is not just winning, it’s his passion for excellence. Despite his great success, Tiger has repeatedly refined his swing in an ongoing effort to improve his game and be a better golfer. His desire for excellence leaves him never satisfied.

The apostle Paul was also driven by a desire for excellence—but in his relationship with Christ. Paul, however, taught that we’re to have balance. While we’re never to be satisfied with our spiritual progress, we’re always to be content in Christ.

In his letter to the Philippians, Paul expressed both realities. While writing from prison, he declared his contentment with life’s circumstances, entrusting them to God’s care (Phil. 4:11). Nevertheless, he refused to be satisfied with his own spiritual progress. He did not count himself to have “apprehended” (to have arrived and achieved it all). Instead, he was committed to pressing on toward the goal (3:13-14).

Learning to balance contentment with a desire for excellence may be the forgotten key to our ongoing spiritual growth and advancement.

I give my life to You, O Lord,
To follow and obey;
Grant me contentment as I strive
For excellence each day. —Sper

Godliness with contentment is great gain. —1 Timothy 6:6

Bible in One Year: Genesis 46-48; Matthew 13:1-30

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

military, our allies, and their families

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

~ Today....Considerable clouds this morning. Some decrease in clouds later in the day. High 56F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

~Tonight....Partly cloudy skies. Low 34F. Winds light and variable.

Mr. Beachy and I went to see Avatar 3D early Saturday morning. WOW!

Had a 3-day weekend which zoomed by. Now, back in the office for a short week.

Last week I got another assignment which may take me away from the Canteen more than I want. For now, expect me to post, say a few hellos and then disappear. At least until I get everything together where I know what I'm doing.
Then, I hope to have a plan in place that will allow me to get here each morning, Mon-Fri.

Better make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!

Come on in y'all
and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

You never know exactly when, but there comes a moment

when you know that you just aren't going to do

anything productive for the rest of the day.
