CONTENTMENT 3: ISAIAH 26:3
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Contentment
a) Content is defined as satisfied with what one is or has. This is a feeling that is propagated by an attitude. You only have 2 possible choices when situations arise. You can be reactive and let the situation dictate your response, or you can be proactive and choose your actions based on discipline.
b) Being content is a proactive choice in everything. It is a choice that you can make in every single situation. Contention doesn't mean you are happy in the bad times. It means you are satisfied with life because you know that God has things in control.
2. Bible Verses
Isaiah 26:3
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”
a) This is a wonderful verse for self-reflection. If you genuinely and whole-heartedly trust in the Lord, you will feel at peace in all situations because God is in control. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be full of laughter and happiness, but that you will be satisfied because it is the will of the Father that is being done and not your own. If you aren’t at peace in your own heart right now, stop reading for a moment and reflect on things that you may need to change. Give your concerns to the Father.
