Ps.23:1 – The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The world lives in a state of want. Enough is never enough.

It has to do …
Phil.3:8 – More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, This verse gets to the very heart of life, the …
Ps.73:28 – But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works. The Psalmist recognized his need for God. He concluded that being in God’s manifest presence was the “good” in his life. This revelation changes the emphasis …
Psa.37:4,5 – Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. This language is foreign to the lost man.

HAPPY EVER AFTER Eccl. 2:26 God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. Contentment is a great but elusive gift. All of us have …

SATISFIED WITH CHRIST ALONE Rom. 9:23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, Knowing that I belong to The Lord brings ultimate peace and tranquility to my life. Like Paul said, “If God be for me, who can be …
CONTENT Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to. 1 Corinthians 7:24 Contentment is quite elusive.
