Presentation transcript:

How can I find contentment? 1. Intentionally look for the good in every situation and rejoice in it.

2. Devote yourself to being a disciplined student of contentment; because contentment must be learned.

3. Studying God’s Word, because contentment is the result of knowing the character of God.

1 Timothy 6:6-10 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
