"But godliness actually is a mans of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either." -I Timothy 6:6-7 (NASB)
Society often tells us that we shouldn't be content. Advertisers work to tell us we need more and should want more. "Rewards" programs keep us coming back for more and more. Even when expectations around us call for wanting and trying to get more, we need to appreciate what we have and choose to be content in our thankfulness.
God is the source of all we have, both in this world and beyond this world. God provides for us and we should be content in what He provides. Trusting in His plan for our lives, accepting Salvation through Jesus, and living for Him can help us be content and happy now and prepare us for eternal happiness with Him later!
Find contentment in what God has given you, both here are on earth and for eternity with Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all that You have provided for me. Help me to be content with what I have been given here on earth and allow me to rejoice in what You have promised to provide for me for eternity. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
