Being thankful during times of recession

Phil.4:12 - Be content in hunger, not just in plenty.

Our recent economy has put a lot of us into "times of hunger", as people lose their jobs, homes and even their faith.  How do we remain content during times of hunger?

1. The first thing to do is be thankful for all we do have.  Praise God for the eternal life He has promised us through our faith in Jesus His son.
2. Remember that God is in control.  He will provide for all of our needs.  He will never abandon us in times of need.
3. Every thing we have on this earth is just "THINGS"!  We should be more concerned about how we live our lives; are we living for God and His plan or for our own comfort?

We need to be content in our lives and thank God daily for all He has given us; even in lean times.  Maybe especially in lean times, we can praise God for all He will do for us.  He will protect us, feed us, cloth us and provide for all we NEED!
