Positive thinking may improve your attitude, but that’s not abundant life, not by a long shot. Only Jesus can give you abundant life (John 10:10). It is both a gift and a discipline. The moment you are born again He gives you life and the potential for abundant life, but it is just a seed. And you have to nurture that seed! It’s a process, or as the Apostle Paul said, “a learned experience.” In Philippians 4:12 he writes:
“… 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.”
— Philippians 4:12 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, teach us to be content in any and every situation. Give us godliness with contentment. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
