StartUp – Wednesday May 18, 2016
Good Day Passionate Youth Reaching Out, today is Wednesday May 18, 2016. My name is Grant and this is Start Up, helping you start your day with an upward focus.
Today’s scripture is Philippians 4:11–13 (HCSB)
11 I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. 13 I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Paul says that he has learned the secret to being content. The word content means, “to be satisfied in your present situation.” So wether Paul is enjoying health and wealth, or sickness and poverty, he is satisfied in whatever his present situation is.
It probably wont take you very long to remember a situation where you were discontent. There are a lot of things in this world that our heart can long for, and when we are in the situation without what our heart is longing for, it can be very unsatisfying.
Paul, the author of Philippians, went through a whole heap of really hard and really wonderful situations, and he says that he learned the secret of being satisfied no matter what his circumstances are. There is a strength that comes and helps Paul to be satisfied, and that same strength is available for anyone who is a follower of Jesus.
Can you be satisfied no matter what life throws at you? You can if your ultimate satisfaction is found in relationship with Jesus. There is nothing in this world that can separate us from his love.A worthy goal for each one of us is this; Value our relationship with Jesus over any circumstance, whether the circumstance is good or bad.
The Challenge for this week is to Examine your heart. What are the things that your heart is drawn to? Would you say that your heart is pure? More importantly, would God say that your heart is pure. I challenge you to examine your heart, and to also pray and ask God to examine your heart. See if there are any sinful ways in you, and then in those areas repent and ask for forgiveness.
There is no Friday youth event because of the May Long Weekend. I invite everyone to come to our Church services at 9:30 or 11:00 this Sunday at Hawkwood Baptist Church.
