"...for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content." Philippians 4:11
It's easy to fall into habit of looking backwards or look forwards, regretting or anticipating. This can lead to an attitude of ungratefulness towards the present position. When the days are routine with work or school, I would often be reflecting or dreaming of the places and times that weren't at hand. However, God has created each day and each situation for a reason. More than not, we live in these day-to-day situations and Paul's lesson is a valuable one to learn. Remembering that these everyday situations are times, just as important to glorify and point to Him, even though they may not be everything we hoped or wanted for in that moment. Be thankful, point to Christ in whatever way you can and ask God for contentment.
