Day 3 of Joy Comes in The Morning
Finding Contentment in God Alone
Reading: Philippians 4:11-13
Paul discovered a secret: contentment isn't found in circumstances, but in Christ. When restlessness fills your heart, it often signals you're seeking fulfillment outside of God. This doesn't mean we shouldn't grieve losses or acknowledge pain. Rather, it means that even in our grief, God Himself is sufficient. He is our all in all. Contentment is learning to receive the abundance of God's grace daily, recognizing that in Christ, we have everything we truly need. Today, bring your restless heart to Jesus. Confess your needs honestly. Then receive His grace, His presence, His sufficiency. Strength comes not from pretending everything is fine, but from depending completely on Him.
Reflection: What are you seeking to fulfill you that only God can satisfy?
