But
If We Have Food
And
Clothing,
We
Will Be Content With That.
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
Are
you there yet? I am not.
Are
you content in life with just food and clothing?
I
read what the Apostle Paul said in 1 Timothy 6:6 and I have to admit
that I am not spiritually there yet. I consider a roof over my head
still a necessity, and a car still a necessity, and air conditioning
in my house and in my car, yes, for me still a necessity, but the
truth is that the simpler you and I make our lives the more content
we will be.
You
have to admit that the more stuff we have to worry about the more
discontented we are and the more stressed out we become!
Great
gain is not having more stuff … great gain is godliness with
contentment.
Let's
continue to simplify!
2
Corinthians 6
10 Our
hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give
spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have
everything.
Application
I
will continue to look for ways to simplify my life. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You know how stressful it is for me when our old car starts
showing its age like it did yesterday. Help me to be content with
just food and clothing. Help us simplify our lives more and more
everyday so that what is important to You will be the most important
to us. Help me trust You completely 100%!
