“They Were There”

“It made no difference whether the Cloud hovered over The Dwelling for two days or a month or a year, as long as the Cloud was there, they were there”(Numbers. 9:22 The Message)

I see that the beaches in Florida and other places have re-opened, largely due to the demands of the young and restless. I suspect, however that these folks will be no less restless on the beaches. Contentment has nothing to do with one’s circumstances. It’s a matter of the heart.

The secret to contentment is seeing God in every place, knowing that he is with us in all that we endure. We can embrace every hardship with joy because he is present. The author of Hebrews has written, “Be  content with things as they are, for God Himself has said, “I will never leave you; I will never forsake you‑forever”
