Therewith to Be Content

_____

One of the most familiar passages in scripture, the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, identifies food, shelter and clothing as basic needs (Matthew 6:25-34)

Take a few minutes from your busy schedule today and give these verses in the Gospel of Matthew some thought. It could make all the difference.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Philippians 4:11)

  1. Trust sums it up pretty well.

  2. As my dear husband loves to remind us, everyone should clearly know the difference between their needs and their wants.

  3. I’m smiling as I recall 4:6-8 come before this scripture.

Thank you for your thoughts.
