Pursue Righteousness

 

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:6-12

Contentment can come only through a deep belief in Jesus Christ. Make do with you have. Stop believing you deserve more. Stop wanting more.

Everything you do, should bring glory on our heavenly Father.

He will never leave us, nor will he ever forsake us.

Contentment is not getting what we want

but being satisfied with what we have.
