A letter from Sep 27th, 2021

Dear Future Me, What progress have you made in Contentment? Personal Evaluation How content are you? • In what specific ways do you enjoy the presence of the Lord? • Do you enjoy spending time with your family? • Are you making practical use of the possessions that have been entrusted to you? • Have you set your affections on getting things that you think will make your life happier? • Do you become bitter when your possessions are damaged or stolen? • When damage comes to your life, possessions, or family, do you have the response of Job? “The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD” (Job 1:21). • Do you rejoice in the wealth of things that money can- not buy—such as health, freedom, a good name, a clear conscience, and eternal salvation—more than tem- poral possessions? • Do you believe that God has given you all you need?
