    I am currently homeless and I believe the Lord is trying to teach me how to be content and humble me in trying times. I seen a tiny yellow bird on the side of a busy road the other morning and I got on my hands and knees to see if it was alive and it was standing up but it's eyes weren't open all the way. I put my finger in front of its chest and it climbed on my finger like a pet bird. I got up and started walking with a goldenfinch on my finger down the sidewalk. It looked around and flew away after only a few steps but it was an amazing experience. It was special. A goldenfinch encounter is supposed to be a good omen. The Lord is allowing me to enjoy the little things in life. Money can't buy happiness.

    This was a very difficult sermon for me to listen to. And to be honest, when this sermon popped-up in my recommendations, I saw the title and instantly became irritated and angry. I've been going through some extremely difficult situations that have lasted for days, weeks, months and yesrs.
    At least 1 hour went past before I decided to listen to the late Dr. Charles Stanley's sermon. I grabbed my Bible and followed along with Dr. Stanley in Philippians chapter 4: 6-12.
    What he said makes sense:
    1. See the situation as coming from God.
    2. Obey God in this situation.
    3. Trust God in this situation.
    4. Draw from God in this situation.
    And that's exactly what Paul did and that's how he was sincerely and truly content in his circumstances. Regardless of the circumstances. Jesus, give me the desire and courage to do 1 through 4. Amen.

    I am blessed to have some of Dr. Stanley’s CDs from earlier years. I am thankful for his bible led teachings also; I have learned so much through the years because of his anointed teachings.
    God blessed us with a great pastor and teacher in Dr. Charles Stanley. He left a legacy of making Jesus a priority by obeying Him and leaving the consequences to Him.
