1 Timothy 6: 6 Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. 7 After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. 8 So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
how often are we actually content?
doesn't it seem we are always striving for more?
if you sit and consider your life.. are you really in lack? I know that I am not.. not even a little bit.. I would say of myself that I have more now physically, financially, spiritually.. than I have ever had before... and truly I am content...
yet some days... I want something more.. I want God's will accomplished in me and through me.. I want to be used for His glory...
and these desires make me continually striving for something more..
I don't know that these are wrong desires.. I think they are quite right actually.. but still... it makes me feel dis-content sometimes.. when I really need to be content right where I am...
sometimes true rest and contentment seems almost unattainable...
Father help me to learn to be complete.. right where I am for this day.. each day..
