Good Morning!

But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God].  -1 Timothy 6:6

Contentment is often coupled with inaction but it can also mean knowing where you stand morally and spiritually and being content or satisfied. We should always be striving to grow deeper in our faith and we should always be in action in furthering the Kingdom of God but it doesn’t mean we can’t be satisfied where we are. Satisfaction and contentment don’t play the comparison game where dissatisfaction and discontentment are stemmed from comparing ourselves to others and wishing we had what they had. Comparison is where the enemy likes to wedge his foot in the door and try to make himself at home. Growing in godliness is good and should be something we strive for but it should also never get to the point that we think ourselves better than our fellow person, there again is where comparison can come into play and be a stumbling block. What is in your life that you need to address that is keeping you from contentment and godliness?

“The world provides no cheerleaders on the pathway to godliness.”  -Kevin De Young

“To be content doesn’t mean you don’t desire more, it means you’re thankful for what you have and patient for what’s to come.”  -Tony Gaskins

Dad Joke of the Day:

Gotta love the irony of a generation raised on making prank calls only to be terrorized by daily robo-calls now. 

Have a great Thursday!
