[Manna - March 6]
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Philippians 4:11,12
IF we find our experiences in life very checkered we
may conclude that the Lord sees that we need both the
heights and depths of prosperity and adversity to properly
instruct us and qualify us for the position He designs
for us in the future.
Let us, then, as the apostle
did, learn how to abound, not allowing the abundance
of earthly good things to swerve us from our consecration
vows; and learn also how to be in want (need)
and yet not to want anything beyond what the Lord's
wisdom and providence see best to give—to be content. Z.'03-10 R3129:6
