Contentment…

 Contentment…

“Quiet trust in God is  the basis for our contentment “ Bible study notes…

I watch my new great grandson nurse until he is full and he pulls away satisfied, tummy full….calm…content…that is the picture I get from these verses….we put our trust/hope in the Lord and he satisfies….that is our goal…complete trust in all things….

 1..My heart is not proud, Lord,my eyes are not haughty;I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. 

 (Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret,I will put to silence;whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,I will not tolerate.

Ps.101.5

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

Rom.12.16)

2..But I have calmed and quieted myself,I am like a weaned child with its mother;like a weaned child I am content. 

 (And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matt.18.3

 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Phil.4.11,Phil.4.12

 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

Ps.23.1)

3..Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.

 (Israel, put your hope in the Lord,for with the Lord is unfailing love-and with him is full redemption.

Ps.130.7)

Ps.131.1-3

Thank YOU….
