“But godliness and contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it.” 1 Timothy 6:6-7
We live in a world of normalized excess.
There is bigger and better everywhere we look.
Possessions, jobs, health, finances, and family, are among areas in which we can struggle with contentment.
A spirit of contentment looks at life with a grateful heart acknowledging our testimony and the Lord’s provision. In opposition, the spirit of discontentment magnifies lack and obscures the Lord’s blessings.
Shift away from discontent.
- Do a David! ( Praise the Lord, write Him a psalm of your love, dance, and sing joyously).
- Revisit your past miracles and blessings.
- Live with a grateful heart.
- Keep a gratitude journal.
- Offer up a sacrifice of praise.
