Spirit
The Change Journey verse for Day 7 is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” The subject I want to consider today is Contentment.
Today I need to concentrate on contentment. Signs of discontentment are grumbling, sighing, murmuring, or whining. If I find myself doing one of these things, I need to stop and consider, What is making me upset? Does being discontent make the situation better? It doesn’t. Instead, it makes me unhappy and weary. This only makes the situation worse. I must pray, “Lord teach me to be content so that I may have joy in any situation.”
“4Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice… 11I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content… 13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:4,11b, & 13)
Body
The health tip for today is to take a ten minute walk. The book I’m using suggests taking a brisk walk outside. It would surely be a brisk walk! It is about 18 degrees right now! I think I’ll take my “brisk walk” inside today. :-)
