When Things Fall Apart

Daily Devotion for January 26, 2018

Be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
—Hebrews 13:5 NIV

The word “contentment” derives from two Latin words, con and I, meaning “to hold together.” When you have faith in God, your mind will “hold together” so efficiently that you can recover from any disappointment or crisis. If you always remember that God is on your side, you can be content no matter what comes your way.

Today’s Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I can live a life of contentment even when things seem to fall apart because I know You are holding all things together.
