Contentment

 

1 Timothy 6:6 - But godliness with contentment is great gain. 

 

Have you ever sat down and thought about the blessing of contentment? Think about what we are taught in Philippians 4:19 – “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Contentment for those who believe in Christ comes from knowing He will always supply all your needs. 

Contentment comes from knowing that your purpose for being on planet earth is to please God. Truly this kind of contentment comes from knowing that God is in control of all things.

Have you ever heard someone say, “This is as good as it gets?” For the Christian there is more. It’s like an old poem that says when you see the horizon you think that’s all there is, but when you get there, you discover there’s more! As believers we know the best is yet to come.

Enjoy the blessing of being a child of God by showing you are content as the Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:11 - Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
