Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.
Dear Child,
It is right and good to give thanks, for My mercy endures forever. Through all circumstances My grace and mercy are available.
A thankful heart is an appreciative heart, and an appreciative heart is a soft heart, which I can work with and mold, but an ungrateful heart becomes hard and cold.
With appreciation comes contentment. Godliness and contentment are great gain.
So fulfill My will for you today by being be thankful and you will be contented.
Thus saith Papa
1Tim 6:6-8 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Phil. 4:11… for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Heb.13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
There are many things that money will buy but not contentment!
Money will buy:-
A bed BUT not sleep
Books BUT not brains
Food BUT not an appetite
Finery BUT not beauty
A house BUT not a home
Medicine BUT not health
Luxuries BUT not culture
Amusement BUT not happiness
A crucifix BUT not a savior
A church pew BUT not heaven.
Remember:-
Haman had a great court position yet not content!
Ahab was on a throne yet not content!
Adam was in paradise yet not content!
Angels were in heaven yet not content!
Lucifer was the highest of the angels yet not content!
CHALLENGE: Don’t try to keep up with the “Jones” for contentment is not having what you want but rather wanting what you have!
Contentment comes not so much from great wealth but from few wants for he who is contented is rich.
