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 all this through him who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV)
Everything that we have here on earth was NOT ours in the first place. And whether we’re riding high for one year and down in the dumps the next, that was GOD’s decision. It has always been HIS decision. It has never been ours. HE’s just interested in us seeking to manage what HE had entrusted to us, to the best of our ability, and trusting Him with the rest.
This has always been my struggle before I decided to surrender everything to God. Have I done a wrong decision? Did I do my best? Why am I still in this situation? These questions were always there but God revealed to me that HE is in full control of everything. I just need to rely fully on His leading and trust that I will go through every circumstance I am and will face.
Thank you, Lord for you are my rock and my strength!
