What State Are You In?

Philippians 4:11

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Thought For Today:

What is your current state? I don't mean where you are physically located, but rather the state of your mind. Sometimes, we struggle with being content when things aren't going well. It can be difficult to find peace in those moments. The dictionary defines content as, “Satisfied with where a person is or what he has; not wanting more or anything else.” So no matter what my condition or situation is, I have to learn to be content. Jesus said, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). It's important to understand that contentment is a state of mind. We should learn to be happy with what we have and where we are in life, instead of constantly trying to keep up with others. If you're feeling discontent, try to find the gifts within you and use them. Focusing on spirituality can also help you achieve contentment.
