A style of living that will not do!
Dear Friends,
Do you remember the Dickens character Scrooge? Alas, he is not just a fictional character for many Scrooges are around today. Today’s devotional will explain. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Philippians 4:11
Philippians 4:11 ESV
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
Philippians 4:11
“There are some persons who never can be content. Providence never pleases them; the weather is always wrong; their dinners are always ill cooked; nothing goes right, nothing has gone right with them for years, and they are very snappish and snarling. This style of living will not do, my brother.”
[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLV, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1899), p. 174]
