Paul said he had learned to be content (Phil.4:11). The secret to his contentment was Christ, through whom we can do all things. Contentment comes from focusing on Jesus rather than ourselves, from faith in His promises and power, His greatness and goodness. We must fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). For He is able.
The scriptures are not just stories or a list of rules. They are truth and life. In keeping them there is great reward! They hold the answer to all our needs (2 Peter 1:3-4). We walk around bleeding and bruised, from bumping into life, because we are blinded. The ways of the world have distorted our vision, blinding us to that which is ours in Christ. The scriptures (the Word of God) clear our vision. It is like putting on a new pair of glasses and realizing how blind we were and rejoicing that we can now see clearly. This clear vision will change your life. Seek Him, for He shall be found.
