Reflections: Am I jealous of friends or family members? Do I trust the Lord to satisfy my needs? If not, why? Power Verses: I Corinthians 3:3, "You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?"

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."
