Get Your Wanter Fixed
December 5, 2013
Read: Philippians 4:4-13
When my wife was a young girl in Austin, Texas, Carlyle Marney was her familys neighbor, pastor, and friend. One of his off-hand remarks about being content became one of her familys enduring expressions: Dr. Marney says, We just need to get our wanter fixed.
Its so easy to want more than we need and to become more focused on getting than on giving. Soon, our desires dictate our choices.
When the apostle Paul wrote to the followers of Jesus in the city of Philippi, he told them, I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content . . . . I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need (Phil. 4:11-12). Paul was saying, in effect, Ive had my wanter fixed. Its important to note that Paul was not born with contentment. He learned it in the difficult circumstances of everyday life.
During this season of the year, when shopping and buying often take center stage in so many countries and cultures, why dont we decide to focus on being satisfied in our present circumstances? It may sound difficult, but Paul, when talking about learning to be content said, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (v.13).
Help us, Lord, to learn contentment when life is
rough. Protect us from believing the lie that
having more will bring us happiness. May we be
content with what You have given.
Contentment begins with having fewer wants.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how were your commutes today?
Did you get your shot this week?
I’ve been called back to jury duty in the morning. And it’s raining right now, so “ice” is the watchword. I am not pleased!
The cars are encased in ice right now. I will have to go start my car, let it run, then scrape ice before I can go home.
