The Joy of Contentment!

"The grass may look greener on the other side, but it still has to be mowed."

"...Be content with such things as you have..." Heb.13:5

"Now godliness with contentment is great gain; For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." 1Timothy 6:6,7

Comparison is a joy robber! It leads to discontentment. There is a reason we're called the "entitled" generation. We think we deserve more than what we've got. In order to guard against this tendency, we have to realize that life is a gift, not a right. Adopting this perspective will teach us to be content with what we have. 

Study these truths:

We are not even promised the assurance of tomorrow(James 4:14). 

Every good and perfect gift is from the Lord(James 1:17).

We are but dust(Ecclesiastes 3:20).

All things were made through God(John 1:3).

As sinners, we deserve death(Romans 6:23).

Be content with food & clothing(1Timothy 6:8).

You belong to God. You are not your own(1Corinthians 6:19).

Find Joy in Him, Beloved!
