On a fishing trip to a remote lake in Northern Quebec, a man asked the outfitter, “Do you stay here during the winter?”
“No,” he said. “The snow gets too deep. We can’t get supplies in. Like many Canadians, I go south for the winter.”
“Oh,” he said. “Where do you go?”
“Vermont.”
For that Quebecer that is where the warm weather is, but for the Vermonter, Florida is where the warmth lies. Both were looking for a place where they could be content. Are you content where you’re at?
But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Give it some thought before you move too far south.
