Daily Thought – Being content

"They were very contented." 1 Kings 4:20

Are we happy today? Or some thing needs to happen to be content and are you praying desperately to get it. Since we do not have some things that we need, we are not content. If you are not content with the state in which Lord Jesus has kept you, you will never be content in any state.

Is it tough? Then "Be content with what you have because God has said, Never will leave you" Heb 13:5 . If we call ourselves children of God, then circumstances are not the one that makes us content. Paul says "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances" Phil 4:11. Learn and look at our life in the perspective of Jesus, we will be always content in any state. Lord has a purpose for the state we are in, that is for our blessing. "We know that in all things God work for the good of those who love him"Rom 8:28.

Prayer: Teach me what I should learn from my situations, and to be content always. And have no sadness about the state I am in. Amen.

Daily Thought – Doing His Will

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Psalm 143:10

Psalmist has a deep longing to do God’s will and to be led by the Holy Spirit at every moment. This is the same expectation our Heavenly Father have about us. Let us study the expectation Lord had about the Levities, the word says in new Testament Lord has given priesthood to all of us.

Serve: “The LORD said to Moses.. .. They are to perform duties for him and for the whole community..” Num 3:5,6 Lord desires us to partner with Him to fulfill His purposes, Wow coworker of God. Let us ask the Lord what am I supposed to do today ?

Dedicated: “ Lord said “… they are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to him” Num 3:9. Our priority and focus should be the Lord and not the things of this world.

Separated: “ “for all the firstborn are mine. .. I set apart for myself every firstborn in Israel, .. They are to be mine. I am the LORD.” Num 3:9. Remember Lord allowed His only Son Jesus to be crushed on the cross, so we could be set apart. We are separated.

Obedient: “So Moses counted them, as he was commanded by the word of the LORD. Num 3:16. Let us listen and obey the word of the Lord. Obedience is wonderful when we obey the one who we love the most.

Prayer: Father Lord, help me to serve you in all dedication. Thank You Lord for separating me, anoint to me to obey your word. Amen.
