Your Present Circumstances

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for He hat said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. ~ Hebrews 13:5

I want it all . . . The grass is always greener . . . Show me the money . . . I wish I had Jesse’s girl . . .

You’ve heard many a phrase like these. They show our natural greed and the ways in which we covet.

“Oh, that evil-eyed reptile, Covetousness! How it cuts its fangs into human hears! How it fevers and poisons life with its venom! How its trail of slime makes ugly many an otherwise beautiful character! God save us from it!”

Today, I pray that you and I will remember that we are all precious to Him who redeemed us and He cares not about what we have.
