“Attaining Contentment: The Gift That Keeps on Giving”, Part 5a

For the past four Training Table gatherings, we have been ingesting the subject of CONTENTMENT—based upon “The Rare Jewel of Contentment”, by Jeremiah Burroughs. If you would care to, please review the previous segments in the Training Table Archives.

The next several servings will be small yet meaty portions to help all those gathered dine on various ways to consider the vital (RE: life giving) idea of, “Attaining Contentment: The Gift That Keeps on Giving”.

Let’s start with some music lyrics from a contemporary Christian song “OH HAPPY DAYS!” by Tim Hughes. Praise is one of the fruits of being full of CONTENTEDNESS that God has secured our eternal destiny and joy:

“The greatest day in history, Death is beaten
You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross,
The empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He’s alive!

Chorus:
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changed

When I stand, in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am Yours Jesus You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive
He’s alive

Chorus:
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same OHH NO
Forever I am changed

Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious name

Chorus:
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changed

What a glorious glorious day,
I’ll never be the same!”

See you all at the Training Table next week! Sing on, Beloved of God… Running the good race!!
