True Contentment

1 Timothy 6: 6 – 7

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

For some reason, I keep coming back to this verse in my personal life.

The older I get, the more I know that I am surely not going to take anything out of this world.

What I possess today, will no doubt be handed down to other people when I leave this place.

I wonder sometimes what true contentment is.

Paul said that if I have godliness, then I am content, and that I also have great gain.

Are you truly content?

If you only have Jesus, will that bring you the gain that you’re looking for?

The people I meet day after day, aren’t content with just having Jesus.

They’re looking for something else to satisfy this great hunger within.

“If I can only buy this”, or “If I can only get this”, or “If I can only attain this status”

And the emptiness continues, and contentment isn’t even within sight.

How do you measure contentment?

I’m going to pray through this verse all day long.

I invite you, to do the same……….
