The Fear of the Lord leads to life.  Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.  Proverbs 18:23 (NIV84)

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.  I can do everything through him who gives me stregnth.  Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV84)


It's not that we won't have trouble because we are in the Lord....It's trouble won't have us because we are in the Lord!  We will have difficulities in this life but when we are in Christ our hope & contentment are found in Him....not our circumstances.

We will not be overcome by our troubles...they will come and some will seem unbearable..and but for the grace of God, some of them would be and are...but when you know that God is with you in all things and He loves you and cares for you....that is where you find contentment even during the most difficult days.  Relief comes when God changes our circumstances...but contentment comes from knowing God is with us in all our circumstances even if they don't change...good & bad...and that is what we need most.
