Be content, but NEVER settle.
Jun 12, 2023Contentment and settling often walk a thin line.
But remember, they are not the same.
Contentment is a gift from God, a peace that surpasses understanding, even when we are in the midst of trials and tribulations.
It is the ability to find joy and gratitude in our current circumstances, acknowledging the blessings we have been given.
Settling, on the other hand, is not of the Kingdom. It is the acceptance of less than what God has promised us. It is choosing comfort over faith, safety over potential, and the seen over the unseen.
Yes, it's a challenge. Yes, it often leads to conflict.
But as children of the Kingdom, we are called to rise above, to live in contentment without settling. To embrace the abundant life Jesus spoke about, without compromising on the promises He has made to us.
Remember, we are who the Bible says we are. We have what it says we have. We can do what it says we can do.
Let us be content, but never settle.
Let's strive to live in the fullness of God's promises, trusting in His perfect timing and His perfect plan.
Be Humble. Be Grateful. Be Content. But never settle.
Enjoy your day off, celebrate those who laid their lives on the line for our freedom.
