Contentment that God knows what I need

God also has been showing me that he knows what I need.  He will provide for me in his timing.  He knows the right job and wife for me.  I need to trust in his plan and timing.  It is a reminder that God's timing is not our timing.
In Matthew 6:33, Jesus calls us to seek him and his kingdom and he will provide for us.  "Jesus says as a cure to anxiety, to "seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."  He says this to those that are worried about daily provisions.  Jesus puts a different spin on those struggling with those providing for themselves.
We as Christians must seek his kingdom and his glory daily.   God will provide for us in his timing.  God knows what we need for our daily provisions.

Contentment in general

God is teaching me to be contentment with my lot in life.  He is showing me that I need to be content in my current situation.  He is showing me that I need to be contentment with who God is and his power in my life.  Also, he is showing me that I have to be content with many friends or a few friends. It is important to be content whether married or single.   Lastly, I have to be content with a high paying job or low paying job.

God is with me always

Lately God has been reminding me that he is still with me at all times in my life.  God has shown me that he is still working in my life even in the waiting for where he would have me serve him.  The Psalms describe how God is our shield, fortress, and protector.  They also describe how his presence goes before us every day.  Psalm 139 describes how we cannot get away from his presence, he hems us in, and he holds us together at all times.

Trust God with the little things and he will provide the big things

God has been reminding me to trust him with the little things and he will provide the big things in life for me.  This right now involves where he wants me to work or serve him.  Also, he wants me to trust that he is working and leading me right now.  When we trust him with the small things in life, he will provide the big things in his timing.
Proverbs 3 talks about trusting God with everything and acknowledging him in all that we say and do.  Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."  When we trust God with everything in life and acknowledge him in everything we do, he will lead us where he wants us to go.  Trusting him in the small things in life, will allow us to trust him in the big things in life.  It is a important reminder that trusting God with certain aspects in our life is a daily process.
Lastly, this process is about daily abiding in Christ.  It is giving to God certain circumstances in life and allowing them to mold us into his image.  It is a reminder that he is in control of these circumstances  We have to remind ourselves he still has a plan for us in the midst of it all.  Who or what do you need to trust God with this year?
