Today’s Word from God’s Word-Contentment

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Contentment.

To be content is to be mentally and emotionally satisfied with things as they are. This can be seen in a negative light if it means that someone is satisfied in their comfort zone and is not willing to grow and expand their horizons.

But there is a contentment that is healthy when it is paired with godliness. This kind of contentment overcomes the materialistic tendency to want more things to be satisfied. It is the kind of contentment that experiences peace in a relationship with Jesus. We learn that His grace is sufficient for our needs.

First Timothy 6:6 to 8 tells us that 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.
