A daily reminder for us all....

Stay in Balance
by Joyce Meyer - posted January 24, 2012


I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am. —Philippians 4:11

Stability is maturity. To grow up in God is to come to the place where you can be content no matter what your situation or circumstances may be because you are rooted and grounded, not in things, but in the Lord.

Paul was emotionally and spiritually mature because he knew whatever state he was in would pass. He had learned the secret of facing every situation of life, whether good or bad.

God wants to bless you and use you as a vessel through which His Holy Spirit can work. But in order for that to happen you must learn how to handle both the good times and the bad.

That’s why it is so important to remember that whatever comes your way, “This too shall pass.” The good times and the bad never last forever, but through Christ we can handle either with joy and stability.
