PSALM 132:1-12 Lord, remember David and all that he suffered.  He made a solemn promise to the Lord. He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel,  “I will not go home; I will not let myself rest. I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber until I find a place to build a house for the Lord, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.” We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar. Let us go to the sanctuary of the Lord; let us worship at the footstool of his throne.  Arise, O Lord, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy.  For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you have anointed.  The Lord swore an oath to David with a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.  If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and the laws that I teach them, then your royal line will continue forever and ever.” .

Philippians 4:11-12 NIV I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

What is the secret? We can never be content so long as we thing we need more to be happy. Contentment comes not from having more but from wanting less.

Instead, pray about everything. Tell God your needs… THANK God for his answers. …and don’t forget to thank him for his answers.” (Philippians 4:6-7, TLB)

His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.

“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” --Philippians 4:19 NLT
