I am always looking forward to reading the “Coffee News”. I really liked very much what was written in the last issue under the heading “On the lighter Side.” It sounded really good and familiar. There it said, “Be happy with what you have. If you spend your life looking for greener pastures, you might find you’re too old to climb the fence.”
The Bible came to my mind and Paul’s letter to the Philippians and there it was, what I was looking for in chapter four the verses eleven to thirteen.
Paul says there, “…, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” And he repeats, because it is important to him, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,….” So it is actually a secret to be learned.
1. He knows what it is to be in need, / He knows what it is to have plenty.
2. He knows what it is to be well fed. / He knows what it is to go hungry.
3. He knows what it is living in plenty. / He knows what it is living in want.
And then he finishes by saying,” I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
HAVE I LEARNED THAT SECRET?
HAVE YOU LEARNED THAT SECRET?
