BE CONTENT!

The assurance of God’s promise (Hebrews 13:5-6): God is our Helper – our Refuge, our Sustainer, our Comforter. Faithful God is not a deserter of His children. Moses’ admonishment to Israel (Deuteronomy 31:3, 6, 8) How much more should we accept our Father’s daily care! “Give us this day our daily bread.” God’s lovingkindness (Psalm 118:1, 5-9)

Always desiring more is folly. Man is never fully satisfied. Ecclesiastes 2:10-11; 5:10-12 More stuff means more cares and problems. Many people tend to think that life gets better after… Little is more – Psalm 37:16-17

Contentment helps to quench temptations. Soldiers were told to be content with wages (Luke 3:8, 14). True contentment allows godliness to do effectively its unhindered transformation in us (1 Timothy 6:6-10). Christians who fall prey to discontentment suffer its repercussions.

Being content helps us handle life’s situations. Enables one to accept one’s station in life (1 Corinthians 7:17-24) We keep on obeying God not what happens. Enables one to handle bad times which come his way (Philippians 4:11-13) Success by learning to be content in whatever circumstance 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
