Contentment


Hebrew 13:5 "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake".

Contentment! What a wonderful gift from God Our Heavenly Father. It is to be satisfied with whatever is provided to us. This is one lesson I took years to learn and I still stumble at times.

But the word of God clearly exhorts us to keep ourselves free of the love of money. Money is not evil in itself. It is the love of money that spoils every thing! When we are consumed in the hoarding of things in our lives, we immediately replace God.

Hence it is very important to be content with what we have rather than what we do not have. God knows what we really need and we should trust Him completely, coz we have His promise. He is with us at all times!
