Jeremy Johnson - The "If Only" Life

Read- Proverbs 14: 30 Philippines 4:4-13 1 Timothy 6:6-12The enemy wants to rob you of now. He wants to empty today by causing you to worry about tomorrow, but a heart at peace is what we need to long for, because what we go through emotionally will affect you physically!Your pain gives you power to preach more effectively if you can learn to be content at "empty". Because if you can't be content at the end you will never be content at full. Because it's not about being filled it's about being fulfilled.Here are four things to know about contentment:Contentment must be learned. Contentment is a choice. You can have contentment on empty Contentment is the good fight of faithThe only thing that can bring you contentment is not found here. When we leave this world we will not be taking anything with us, but a change in our focus will allow us to make it through this life.Don't beat yourself up for being discontent, but ask God to help you see the things you can be grateful for in this moment, and you can rejoice like the wordApplication - What are some areas in your life that you have envy and discontentment? What can you be thankful for instead in your life?Prayer - Father, I'm so grateful for the life you have given me. Allow me to see all that you've already set your hand to in my life because I know that everything has purpose! I discard discontentment from my life and I choose to fix my eyes on you! In Jesus name.
