Well
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I
know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I
have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,
whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:11-13
Are
you well-fed? Does this make you think of food or can you think of
what things other than food you are taking in. I overheard a woman
talking about some commercials and shows in the early evening that were
pretty bad and she wondered how this could be on TV. It made me stop
and think about how much bad there is around us on TV, the Internet, and
the world and how much we are taking it in. Are we getting bites of
things that make us sometimes want more or are we taking huge gulps and
letting ourselves get filled with the wrong things. Think about how
quickly we can be filled with the small bites and gulps of the world,
and then think of how quickly we can be filled with the small bites and
gulps of God's Word and messages. The problem with the things of this
world is they don't digest and just sit there and don't make us
well-fed. With God, if we are regularly digesting the bites and gulps
of His Word, we are filled with nutrition that can make us well-fed. We
can be strengthened through Him.
Have a great weekend.
