"ALMOST CONTENT"

      "Be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "

       Will never leave you nor forsake you."----- Hebrew 13:5

As i stepped into the restaurant parking lot after lunch. I saw  a pickup truck speeding through the parked vehicles. While observing the driver's re kless behavior. I noticed the words on the truck's front license plate. It read. "Almost Content." After thinking about that message and the setiment it tried to communicate. I concluded that the concept "almost content" doesn't exist. Either we are content or we are not.

       Admittedly, contentment is a tough needle to thread. We live in a world that feeds our desire for more and more until we find it almost impossible to be content with anything. But this is nothing new. The boom of Hebrews addressed this issue, saying. "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you'"

(13:5). The only remedy for hearts that "want it all" is the contentment fpund in he presence of the living God. He is sufficient for our needs and longings, and He alone can bring us the peace and contentment we'll never find in thd pursuits of this life.

        Almost content? There is no such thing. In Christ we can know true contentment.

        I find contentment in His wondrous grace, 

        No cloud or shadow can obscure His face:

            When great temptation I must bear,

        I find the secret place of prayer.---dunlop
