Warm, sunny days, warm rainy days either is okay. Cold days or warm days, either is okay.  In the house or outside the house, either is okay.  Working or resting either is okay.  Eating at home or eating out, either is okay.  Church in the church building, or church at home, either is okay. Lots of food or meager food, either is okay.  Bananas or no bananas (can I say it?), either is okay. Why can I say this?  I can say this because whatever happens God is in control.  Really God is enough!  I can be content because I have a relationship with the God of the universe.  That overshadows all the inconveniences I experience day to day.  It overshadows all other joy I experience day to day.

Now, I must confess I am quick to forget this truth.  I become focused on temporal things and forget that there are more real things.  So I want to be content with the eternal blessings and not fret the temporal.  The temporal is fragile and fleeting, changing ever.  So, Lord, help me center in You!
