I can remember a conversation with one of the girls that work in this particular store that I visit frequently. She is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and we were fellowshipping around loving the Lord, being content with our lives, and how we loved our homes. We discussed how it is so sad that some people just seem like they have a hard time being content so they fill the void in their life with things that seemingly make them happy and content.
Don’t get me wrong…doing things and going places are nice, and can be joyful but it is not where godly contentment is found. May we learn to enjoy the sweet simplicities of life and the blessings that God has so richly and abundantly poured our way. The Lord has called us to be examples in this world to live life in Him. As we live in godly contentment, I believe that our life will speak to people in ways we would never imagine.
1 Timothy 6:6 (VOICE)
“This is ironic because
godliness, along with contentment, does put us ahead but
NOT in the ways some imagine.”
Lord, we ask you today to remind us by Your Holy Spirit to seek first heavenly things. Help us to sort through what is important and what is not. Cause us to see godliness with contentment to be great gain. We seek to be examples of living life in total contentment and peace. We thank you that as we do this people will be drawn to You.
