Contentment

RHEMA 6/27/03 TO BE CONTENT

HEARD: Contentment.

CONFIRMATION: I found a little card when I organized the greeting card boxes that said, “May your blessings be many and your contentment run deep.” It was a photo of an eagle flying above a river where a fisherman and also a boat with two people were.

CONFIRMATION: Anna sent me an e-mail where she used the word content when talking about hearing Him. I was not able to go back and find it, but I remembered when I read it that it was a confirmation to hearing the word contentment.

Philippians 4:11 NKJV

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

1 Timothy 6:6 NKJV

Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

1 Timothy 6:8 NKJV

And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

WORD TO PONDER LEARNING CONTENTMENT 6/27/03

Contentment is a tranquility within your heart in which you not only appreciate your portion, but also thoroughly utilize it. When you have your focus upon someone else's portion, or when you are longing for your promised portion yet to come in the future, it keeps you from thoroughly enjoying what you do have. This is like the horse that eats the grass on the other side of the fence. It seems greener and sweeter, yet to continually reach through the fence causes dissatisfied longings.

Turn around and look at what I have given you. I have supplied a whole field of green pasture for your needs. Enjoy what I have given you and you shall have more when you have utilized what I have already given you.

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Heb 13:5-6 )

RHEMA 11/24/03 A gift

HEARD: Contentment. It's a gift.

Phil 4:11-12 AMP

Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am. 12 I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.
