What do you see?
I'm sick and i wake at unearthly hours. Self-prescribed medicine caused drowsiness and all the resolutions for the day were thrown out the window. Yet, something weighed upon me. Similar to that of sunday.
Phil 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
I am contented not because of the earthly environment or possessions of significance, security and success. I am contented because in whatever situation i'm in, God is there. Ready to embrace me when i weep. Carry me when i'm weak. Build me up when i've fallen and show me the way; The way of true Christian living.
I have learnt oh Lord. That contentment doesn't come naturally. It doesn't come through means and possessions. It comes by choice. To choose to trust in Your providence. In this, i will rejoice and i will always rejoice. For my great joy is in the proclamation of Your good news! This joy of the Lord will be my strength. Will be my means of standing firm. Will be my sanctification.
For my negligence has led to my ailment. This ailment has led to rest and this rest, has allowed me to learn more about You. For it is in the toughest of times and in the lack of seemingly important things that Your contentment is learnt. Thank You Lord. My best friend. My liege.
For in You and through You, i can conquer all that comes my way.
*Time to slumber*
