THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT...
REVEALED!!!

"I have learned to be content
in whatever circumstances I am."
Philippians 4:11

Awhile back I talked about "The Secret of Contentment" and how some of the greatest Bible characters had learned how to be "content" regardless of circumstance.

SO WHAT'S THE SECRET!

I said,

"The answer is perfectly described
in a single verse somewhere
in the book of Proverbs.
I'll give a FREE COPY
OF MY LATEST BOOK,
The Bible Says, Volume 1,
to the first 10 people to email
me the correct answer."

And the answer I was looking for is...PROVERBS 3:5!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding."

The ability to trust in God no matter what's happening in life, is the key to contentment. The apostle Paul had "learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am," because he had learned to put his trust in God and not rely on his own understanding.

BUT WAIT! Several GTW! subscribers alerted me to an (NIV) verse that provides a great answer to the key to contentment as well:  Proverbs 19:23 says,

"The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content,
untouched by trouble."(bold mine)

CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners (I will contact individually).

"And Job died an old man,
and full of days,
well satisfied with life."
-Job 42:17, bold mine

How 'bout you?
