Day 299 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: Jeremiah 17-19; 1 Timothy 6)
GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT
“But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.” (1 Timothy 6:6-8 ESV)
Being content is not how most people live. All of the TV ads are meant to make us not be content. Their goal is to create a desire to have more of whatever product they are pushing.
The picture attached here reveals a man who could well be very content. Bible study, prayer and meditation can go a long way towards contentment. Ultimately, true contentment comes from sins forgiven and heaven promised to sinners who repent and trust in Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord.
Lord Jesus, fill me with godly contentment as I trust you to lead me and watch over me today. Please use me to share You and Your love with others. Amen.
