What a respectable sin self-pity is! It can be so logical, convincing you that you are suffering terribly. It brings darkness, despair, even illness.
. . . I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous. In general and in particular I have learned the secret of facing either poverty or plenty. I am ready for anything through the strength of the one Who lives within me.
Philippians 4:11-13 Phillips
Lord, help us to keep our minds on You. Then we accept both poverty and plenty in Your strength.
