Gospel According to Van Morrison

"For I have learned how to be content with whatever I have."

Philippians 4:11 

One of my favorite songs, from my growing up years, is "Days Like This" by Van Morrison.  When I first heard it, the first thing that came to mind were days that my Dad would refer to as "Murphy's Law" days, where if it can go wrong it will.  However, when I read the lyrics I got it!

  

"When it's not always raining....there will be days like this

When there's no one complaining.....there will be days like this

When everything falls into place, like the flip of a switch,

My Mama told me..... there will be days like this"

So, if we take the word of the Apostle Paul, we will learn that whatever kind of day you are having, contentment will make it tolerable because "there will be days like this."  Are you having an amazing day?  There will be days like this.  Are you have the worst day? There will be days like this.  Nothing that happens to us is a surprise to God, who has already given us a way to make it through every day.  Why? Because God knows there will be days like this.

Ponder that for a bit.
