My 2020 Inspiration
God-Time this morning included the following devotional message for January 7th. In this new year season of reflection and response, I pray and strive for my life to display the beauty and unwavering trust in Him as written below by L. B. Cowman. "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." ~ Philippians 4:11 Paul, while being denied every comfort, wrote the above words from a dark prison cell. A story is told of a king who went to his garden one morning, only to find everything withered and dying. He asked the oak tree that stood near the gate what the trouble was. The oak said it was tired of life and determined to die because it was not tall and beautiful like the pine tree. The pine was troubled because it could not bear grapes like the grapevine. The grapevine was determined to throw its life away because it could not stand erect and produce fruit as large as peaches. The geranium was fretting because it was not tall and fragrant like the lilac.
