Learning to Be Content



It is a new year, and for many people, it is a time for resolutions. I’ve made resolutions through the years, but I have found that keeping these commitments is difficult. Truthfully, I probably didn’t make it very many days before I gave up on my list.

In recent years, I have changed my approach from a list of resolutions to a scripture as my focus for the year. This year I have chosen two verses to contemplate.

“I have learned in whatever state I am to be content.”   Philippians 4:11
“Godliness with contentment is great gain.”  I Timothy 6:6


I hope you will follow my journey this year as I learn to be content. I have already been intrigued by how the Lord is changing my focus. Stay tuned as my lessons unfold.
