Overview: We continue with our fifth lecture through our devotion based on Thomas Watson's book, The Art of Divine Contentment. Tonight's lesson began chapter 10, -Use III- A Suasive to Contentment-. This long chapter will be covered for a number of weeks in parts- tonight, we looked at Watson's answers to the first three apologies -or arguments- some Christians give against contentment and to justify discontentment- 1- -I have lost a child-- 2- -I have a great part of my estate strangely melted away, and trading begins to fail-- 3- -It is sad with me in my relations-.----A short closing piece by Phillips Brooks was so appreciated that it is shared here for reference-----Do not pray for easy lives---Pray to be stronger men.--Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.--Pray for powers equal to your tasks.--Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle,--but you shall be a miracle.---Source- When God Writes Your Love Story, by Eric and Leslie Ludy, p. 173, lent to Pastor by his eldest daughter.-
