Godliness and Contentment


"Godliness with contentment is truly great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6-7).

Every December, when the Christmas music is playing, when the television is overflowing with advertisements for things that will make your loved one happy and when movies show happy gatherings of people, discontent can begin to fill our hearts.   We become acutely aware of how much we don't have and how much others posses.  The shopping for gifts becomes a burden and our since of wonder is smothered in want for things.

Let's stop today and remember why we are celebrating.  We have been given a peace to face all situations.  We have a joy filled future.  We have a Savior, Brother who walks with us and is in us.

Indeed we do have every reason to be content.
