“Godliness With Contentment”

Key Verse

  “But godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6).

Text — 1 Timothy 6:6-12

Message

In the words Lao Tzu, “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”  Godliness deposits the seed of contentment in the life of the believer in Christ. This seed needs to be nurtured through prayers and consecration until it grows into a big tree. This big tree is capable of providing a soothing shade for the believer and makes him not to run ahead of God in any matter of life. Contentment brings inner satisfaction and true happiness because your happiness or misery depends largely on your mindset, and not on your circumstances. 

Beloved child of God, you need to allow contentment to reign in your life so that you don’t create an enabling environment for depression and anxiety to thrive. Many youths have committed suicide because of lack of contentment which eventually translated to a pathological mood disorder. Realize that true contentment lies in Christ. Therefore give your life to Christ so that you draw contentment, positive emotion and happiness from Him, the fountain of life.
