Phil 4:11 (NKJV) "11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content ."

     Often times we find ourselves in a place where we don't have what we want, although we have what we need.   We need to look at the subject of being content, or to be satisfied.  We see it in this verse as the writer is saying he learned to be content.  I often see patients and people looking at what they don't have or what they can't do, instead of looking at what they do have and what they can do.  Yes we all would like to have more or do more and sometimes we are limited by physical capabilities and other times we might be bound because of financial reasons.  If we would step back sometimes and see what we do have we will find our contentment and be thankful of God's blessings.  1 Tim 6:8 (NKJV) "And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content."  I encourage you to look at what you do have and look at those people God has allowed in your life to help you be content.  Give God praise and be thankful for your contentment.  Many Blessings to you.
