Content or discontent? Why? 1 Timothy 6:6
Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
Well, how is your day going thus far? I do hope your started the day with you and God in prayer. If not, may your prayers be strong, genuine, and may you receive an answer for what you pray. Ever have those moments of discontent? Don't like yourself? Your job? Your house? Where you live? The money you make? And on and on. Well, we must be content in our salvation, take the camera off ourselves (the big "I") and focus where we should focus, on Jesus Christ, and go forth to further His name with honor and glory.
1 Timothy 6:6 "Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth." This statement is the key to spiritual growth and personal fulfillment. We should honor God and center our desires on Him and we should be content with what God is doing in our lives.
Hebrews 13:5 we are told to be satisfied with what we have and not to love money. God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." We have to live on what we have, resist the temptation to buy more of what we want, only what we need. We will become satisfied when we realize God's is sufficient and material things will pass away. We have to trust God for our NEEDS not wants but NEEDS!
Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow we will look at 1 Timothy 1:5-6. Be content in God and all HE does for us. We may not know the why or the how come......but HE does and HE provides. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
