1 Timothy 6:6-8 But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
Are you content? Paul says that when you are godly and content with what you have, it is great gain. He isn't talking about your bank account, but about your spiritual life. How can we be content with what we have?
What if we choose to focus on something besides our stuff? What would our lives be like if instead of working so hard for one more dollar, or one more thing, we worked for one more of what God wants in our lives?
One more dollar - to give away to someone in need. One more moment in prayer. One more hour in the Word. One more person hearing about Jesus from our lips. One more time of sweet fellowship with our brothers and sisters.
One more day living for Jesus.
That will bring contentment into your life. And that is great gain.
