Philippians 4:11
English Standard Version (ESV)
11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
"As our text reminds us, we must not live lives of endless complaint about our present circumstances. There is much to be thankful even in the midst of troubles. Racing off to the world of daydreams too readily means we might miss out on what God is doing in our here-and-now world. And we need to recognise that it is in this real and up-and-down world that our God meets us and encourages us. We scarcely need him in our idealised daydreams.
Daydreams are pleasant enough places to visit, but dangerous places in which to live." - David Reay
