“Lasting Committment”

Friday, November 02, 2018

The preoccupation with happiness and contentment is an ever-present theme in the modern world today. We are bombarded with messages that tell us where to find peace and pleasure in a world that worships materialism and wealth.

 Lasting contentment is not found in material possessions.  Genuine contentment is a spiritual gift from God to those who trust in Him and follow His commandments. When God dwells at the center of our lives, peace and contentment will belong to us just surely as we belong to God. My last thought is this, our Father and God is our contentment and our peace. We find protection when we seek His healing hand; we discover joy when we welcome God’s healing Spirit. Let us look to our Father God, for the peace and contentment that He has offered us through the gift of His Son.

 “Godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.” 1Tim 6:6-9
