CONTENTMENT

Contentment can mean many things, but it can also be seen as keeping an attitude of gratitude. In our world, we go through trials and difficulties, but ultimately, it is good for us to be content with the many blessings that God has provided.

​

"If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content" (1 Timothy 6:8).

​

"Some soldiers were questioning him [John the Baptist], saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages”" (Luke 3:14).

​

Our worldly reason might seem to imply we can't gain progress in this world if we are simply content. However, the scriptures point to another way of thinking about this.

 

"But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment" (1 Timothy 6:6).

​

When we are content with our lives and grateful for what we have, God gives us a way to progress to newer, greater heights.
