“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.”
Contentment has often been described as a state of being mentally or emotionally satisfied with things as they are. Thus when people are content, they admit that they have enough of something or are satisfied with the provision made available to them.
The Bible has a great deal to say about contentment. That is, being satisfied with what we have, who we are, and where we’re going
Jesus said in Matthew 6:25 that;
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?”
You see, people who are not content in life, are always worried. They give themselves over to indiscriminate pursuit of things. As a Christian you must always know what drives you to want more of something.
Most often than not, people don’t really need more of something, what they actually need is putting what they already have to use.
You see, when you don’t walk in contentment, greed will dominate your life. You will break many boundaries of morality just to satisfy your insatiable desires.
Also, not walking in contentment will make you ungrateful to God for what you already have.
Don’t yield to the worldly pressures that is making people discontent in life. But be content with such things as you have.
Read: Ecclesiastes 5:10
“Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.”
Prayer: Lord I pray for grace to be content with what ever you give me and that I will not be ungrateful because of worldly pressures. Amen
