The Apostle Paul said in the wonderful little book of Philippians -- "I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."
It seems, that even for the great Apostle, contentment was not always automatic. Even Paul had to take a few courses in the School of Learning, but he didn't quit or give up along the way -- he didn't stop short of the victory!
He pursued in the course until he could say in Philippians 4:12-13:
"I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Praise the Lord!! What a wonderful testimony, and a great challenge for us to make sure we finish the course and graduate with honors from the School of Contentment!!
Today, sadly, our world seems to be filled with Chaos -- confusion and strife of every kind. Don't become a part of this School -- the Lord has some special blessings awaiting you in the School of Contentment!
If you have not yet enrolled -- do it today! You will Love this Wonderful School!!
