Content In Whatever Circumstances

“I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.” – Phil. 4:11

Ultra-countercultural verse for our society today which seems malcontent in whatever circumstance it is.

As, What, and When Thou Wilt

“For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.” – Rom. 11:35

“As Thou wilt; what Thou wilt; when Thou wilt.” – Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)

You Have Opened My Ears

“You have opened my ears” – Psa. 40:6

The Hebrew here for open is “to dig.” God digs open our ears so we can hear the truth of the Gospel.

Many Things To Say To You

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” – Jesus (John 16:12)

What Jesus has to say and reveal is never exhausted.

However, revelation is only made to a mind which can accept it.

In Power, In the Holy Spirit, and With Full Conviction

“For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.” – 1Thes. 1:5

Man’s word alone cannot do it.

Not Redeemed With

“You were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” – 1 Pet. 1:18-19

Only Jesus redeems.

There is Liberty

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” – 2 Cor. 3:17

Liberty is found only where the Spirit of the Lord is.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is not, there is no Liberty.

“There is no grief which the Holy Spirit cannot relieve! That divine Comforter knows so well how to get at the secret springs of our sorrow, and to put the comfort right into the spring itself–that there can never be a grief which can elude Him, or which can baffle His skill.” – C.H. Spurgeon
