Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-15

Psalm 23:1 (NKJV) 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

We spend so much time focused on the mountains and the valleys in our lives.

We covet the mountaintop experiences and loathe the valleys. And in the process, we miss out on everything in between.

Our lives consist of so much more than highs and lows. In fact, the highs and lows happen infrequently, which is why they stand out so much in our minds.

But God is faithful in every aspect of our lives, through everything that we walk through. So it’s important that we learn to be thankful for each and every day we have, not just for those days that we see as highlights!

Philippians 4:11 (NKJV) 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content…

Learning to be content helps bring stability into our lives, because when we’re content, we won’t be constantly looking for the next big high or mountaintop.

Being content also helps us to be thankful for what we have and where we’re at. When we learn to be content, we also learn to be grateful for what we have, regardless of how plentiful or how lean it might be.

And all of this comes with growing as a believer, spending time in God’s word and learning who He wants us to be.

So whether we’re on the mountaintop, in the valley, or somewhere in between, let’s be content and thankful.
