When you observe that the fire in your room is getting dull, you do not always put on more coal, but simply stir with the poker so God often uses the black poker of adversity in order that the flames of devotion may burn more brightly.

Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is content with such as he has (Heb. 13:5).
