Scripture Sunday

Print

"Godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.  But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that."  ~ 1 Timothy 6.6-8

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"  ~ Hebrews 13.5


Lord,

Help me be content with what I have and not lust after what I think I need.

Amen


Blessings,
Ellen

  1. Contentment... what a work God has done on us with this word. We have such a simple life compared to when we lived in the US. May God continue to teach us all about being content with what we have and where we are!

    Thank you for this post!

    joy & blessings,
