1 Thessalonians 5:16 "Be joyful always, 17 pray continually; 18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus .” Be joyful always!!! 1Timothy 6:6 “Godliness with contentment is great gain.”
These are a couple great verses!! 1Timothy 6:11 “But you man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith,love endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith…”. Fight the good fight!! What wonderful reminders today to be pursuing God’s plan not mine!! To be content in God’s plan is joyful living!! To live sober I have to be content to live sober! Actually, I embrace sober living now. When I kept wanting to manage my drinking I was not being content in my sobriety. I kept trying to change the fact I was/am, an alcoholic, allergic to alcohol and cannot manage it. Once I accepted that fact, was content with it I found peace. But as long as I was trying to change something I could not change I was in constant turmoil. Is there something in your life you are not accepting that you cannot change? Give it to God, TRUST He’s working it out for His glory. You will be the beneficiary, that’s the way God works. Even in death He provides life!!!
