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.
