2 Kings 10:1-36; Jeremiah 45:1-47″7; Hebrews 12:1-17
I have learned … to be content. Philippians 4:11
Be content with such things as you have, For He … said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 NKJV
Paul’s sufferings were deep: in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often, five times he received 39 stripes, three times beaten with rods; once stoned; three times shipwrecked; in journeys often, in perils of waters, of robbers, in weariness, sleeplessness, hunger and thirst, fastings, cold and nakedness (2 Cor. 11:22-33). Yet in it all, he was content! Are you content in this discontented world? Are you living for the material and temporal
or the spiritual and eternal? —Jim Paul
I know that His power my safeguard will be,
For, “Why are ye troubled?” He saith unto me. —J. N. Darby
