1 Timothy 6:8-9...It Is the Little Things...

“But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.”

Being content with food and clothing is a difficult concept for most of us to understand. We get swept up in the competition of new things and shiny objects and often forget to be grateful for what we have. If we are not careful it is but a short leap into the temptation of becoming rich to satisfy our own desires. This is where a departure from contentment to never being fully satisfied can happen. Keeping our perspective and being content with the basic things means that we are happy and thankful to God that we are so richly blessed. Always being thankful to God for His provision and the willingness to share our time and our resources with others is one of the many ways we glorify His name. Be certain to give thanks for the many blessings that God has bestowed upon you and your family .
