How Content Are You?

Scripture

1 Timothy 6

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

Observation

It is always a great reminder that no matter how matter toys we accumulate before we die that we are not taking any of them with us. We should be content with having two things in this world: food and clothing.

How are you doing on being content with just food and clothing? How am I doing?
Whatever it is that you have just got to have … that desire … brings discontent!

Application

I will thank God for how blessed I am, for having so much, for being so blessed!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am very blessed. You have provided so much for me and for my family. We are blessed. Help me to be content with two things: food and clothing. Show me when I have the wrong attitude towards possessions and help me to have a desire to give and not to hoard.
