"Let your conversation (conduct) be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: For He has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you.'" (Hebrews 13:5)
On the day after Thanksgiving Day it is O.K. to still be thankful. You don't need a bundle of money to spend on so called "Black Friday Bargains" in order to be thankful. You can be thankful and content with the countless blessings that are already in your life.
A prescription for misery is to "spend money you don't have to buy things you don't need to impress people you don't even know."
Our text says, "...be content with such things as you have." And then it tells us the reason why we should be content, "For He has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you.'"
It is a good thing to be content with what we have and to be thankful for it. The blessings we experienced yesterday are enough to continue our thanksgiving throughout the coming year. Let's not wait until November, 2018 to be thankful again.
