Entering the Inner Sanctuary
Enter this sanctuary time by settling down, becoming quiet, and breathing deeply some breaths. Remind yourself you are in the Presence of Love. This place you are entering, within, is the inner Temple, where you are One with God. You may wish to use a mantra, or prayer phrase, follow the breathing in-and-out, or witness the arising and falling of all around you as the manifestation of universal-Spirit. Enjoy these moments of quietly settling and come out when you are ready.
Scripture
10 How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. 11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
*Philippians 4.10-12 (NLT)
7 After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. 8 So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
*I Timothy 6.7-8 (NLT)
Song
The Newsboys. Something Beautiful.
Spiritual Teaching
"We only see in a lifetime a dozen faces marked with the peace of a contented spirit." *Henry Ward Beecher
Contentment As Inner Experience
Responding
What is the relationship between contentment and gratitude? What does it mean to say contentment is an inner experience? Do you tend toward being at contentment or discontent? What practical ways can you employ to be more in contentment? Do you know someone whose face is marked with the peace of a contented spirit? What do you sense leads to this person's spirit of contentment?
