One of the gifts from God is to Accept your lot for now.

One of the gifts from God is to "Accept your lot--for now Ecclesiastes 5:19 If you get quiet in your spirit and allow yourself to discern the Lord's voice; you will realize that He is telling you, "Accept your lot--for now." He wants you to be satisfied and content with your present circumstances, while you wait on Him to lead you into better things. Actively pray and stand in faith for His very best outcome in your situation. And through the process, maintain an attitude of gratitude, and a sense of peace.

"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, with prayer and petition be thankful, and continue to make your wants known to God." (Philippians 4:6) Even if you’re in a disappointing situation, keep your heart filled with gratitude for what He's already done in your life.

Once you decide to be "content with [your] earthly lot," you will experience the peace of mind and heart that will enable you to go on and enjoy your life while you wait for the Lord to act on your behalf.

Never being satisfied with your circumstances will rob you of your peace, and steal your joy, which is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) Then you’ll become weak and weary over even the littlest things. You’ll lose your focus and become unfruitful. Your lack of satisfaction will begin to consume you, and it eventually affects your relationships and your health.

As long as you are looking to God to meet your needs, you can be sure that His help is on the way. "Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18) Being grateful and content with your circumstances opens the door to divine blessings, rewards, and opportunities.

If you are in a disappointing place right now, make a quality decision to get joyful and thankful right where you are. Believe God for better things--and The Father will open the door to peace and provision that belong to those who are Saved through Christ!
