Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Job 36:11
If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.
Proverbs 19:23
The fear of the LORD leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
It’s Thanksgiving weekend. Happy Thanksgiving! For just a few moments, reflect on what you are thankful for. Or rather ‘who’. Because it boils down to family, loved ones, friends, doesn’t it? Relationship, not stuff. People, not possessions. This is what Jesus invites us to in this passage: contentment in relationship with our Father. Relationship that provides security, comfort, covering, peace. Relationship that finds you sitting at the King’s table. Relationship that eventually leaves you planted, deeply rooted like a tree by living streams: you cannot be moved. In relationship, there are no laws, except the Royal Law of Love. That was the message that Jesus delivered in the Sermon on the Mount that day: that they, his hearers, were loved by God. Beloved, that same message holds true for us today. We are loved by God. He cares deeply for us. He is committed to our success. We can trust Him. Please know that. In the same way that we, as parents, are committed to the well being of our children, Our Father, in Heaven is committed to ours, every moment of every day. Bless His Name! Enjoy the Holidays! Enjoy your loved ones!
Psalm 1:3
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
1 Timothy 6:6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”.
