Contentment

"Now godliness with contentment is great pain."

1 Timothy 6:6

Paul warned Timothy against false teachers who wanted to use the church for financial gain. If these people were looking for security, they were on the wrong track. Money, which comes and goes, never brings real protection. Our security lies in God's provision. Whether or not we have a large bank account, we can feel content in Jesus. The One who brought us into the world will never forget we require food, clothing, and all the rest. When we truly trust in Jesus, contentment is sure to follow.

Look to the Shepherd

"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want."

Psalm 23:1

No matter what your physical circumstances, if Jesus is your Shepherd, you never have to want spiritually. No matter what the world throws at you, you can be at peace. No fear overcomes those who follow the Shepherd as their King. He guides them through every trial, leading them faithfully into an eternity with Him. Are you lacking contentment today? Look to the Shepherd for peace.

Blessings on the start of a new week.

I pray you will be blessed this week, but also be a blessing to those you may come in contact with.
