Godliness with contentment.

1 Timothy 6v6-9
Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, 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. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

Godliness with contentment can bring great gain, in perspective, in life, and most importantly in His kingdom. We must remember we had nothing to begin with and our Father gave us everything and has provided greatly on our behalf. It’s our calling to bless others with what He has given us gaining traction for His kingdom not ours. Let us find true contentment in what we already have, in eternal life through Christ which far outweighs anything of this world, giving our faith to God not desire and fulfillment.

Matthew 6v26
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
