In today's verse 15, we're going to explore the way God gives us contentment

in the midst of every season and place he plants us.

May you walk in immense satisfaction today

as you open your heart and mind to the Lord's presence and truth.

As you fix your eyes on Jesus and trust him, I pray you experience rich contentment today

in God's love and provision. Welcome to the first 15 podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Proverbs chapter 19, verse 23.

Scripture says, the fear of the Lord leads to life and whoever has it rests satisfied

in Philippians four Paul describes what he calls the secret to contentment. Scripture says,

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be

content. I know how to be brought low and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned

the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance, and need. I can do all things through him who

strengthens me.

Similarly, Hebrews 13.5 says,

Keep your life free from love of money,

and be content with what you have,

for He has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Imagine a life of total contentment, regardless of your possessions or status.

Imagine the peace, joy, and strength you would find in this kind of freedom Paul experienced

from the ways of the world.

The question before you today is this.

What is keeping you from living your life consistently and completely content.

Scripture is clear that true contentment transcends circumstances.
