One Man's Journey Of Faithنموونە

THE SECRET TO CONTENTMENT One phone call. That’s all it takes to turn a life upside down. Everyone has a story of life spinning out of control. Maybe it was an accident, a call from the doctor, a relationship that ended or an unexpected layoff. We know that everything can change in an instant. It can all be gone tomorrow. And if it’s gone, will we still be happy? No, this is not a trick question. Life is uncertain. We are not in control. If being in control is the only way to be happy, we are destined for a life of chasing temporary happiness in things that fade as quickly as they are found. The apostle Paul talks about finding true happiness, true contentment, that lasts through the ups and downs of life. True happiness is not about what we have, but what God has done for us. Our happiness is in the Provider, not in the provision. Our happiness is in the giver, not the gifts given. Think about it. Everything we have is a gift from God. The ability to earn income comes from Him. The economy that keeps our investments stable is from Him. The health that we experience today is from God. Is there contentment in your life? True happiness is found by those who acknowledge and daily live in the reality that they are dependent on God. If you’ve been seeking happiness in all the wrong places, spend time today putting your trust back in the one who provides, not in the things He provides.
