Contentment is great gain; it signifies rest in Christ. He gave us peace in the midst of war, joy in the midst of sadness, hope in despair, and a love that will endure all things. Are you resting in Christ today? He is the only way out of it all. Are you tired of trying to make it on your own? Trust in Christ today he already made a way for you. Resting means being at ease; knowing that all his well. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13). The promise of rest was given unto us by God. We as his children witness this at firsthand being in Christ. That rest is the faith as it is trust, believing, and knowing. The confidence in resting in Christ is the only contentment that we need. The world is filled with confusion but in Christ is rest as it is our peace. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
The Lord is worthy and greatly to be praised. In Him, we can put our trust. He is the God of provisions and our help in times of trouble. Let us stand in the faith as Abraham hath done knowing that God is faithful and has the ability to perform it all. Circumstances change but our God never changes. God already knows everything which we will face in this life, we must trust in him and know that all is well. He never took our place on the cross through Christ to leave us in times of difficulties, he took it and redeemed us from everything that was against us. God never fails, He can’t, He is God. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and learn not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct they paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). Pray this prayer of faith: Jesus, thank you for taking my place on the cross. I thank you for loving and forgiving me. I accept you as my Lord and Savior in my heart today. Amen.
