160616: Contentment

A British poet by the name of Alexander Pope once said “But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not by making poor.”

The devil does his job very well and knows we are easiest to tempt when we are rich and successful.

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:10)  

But Paul has a cure for this:

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

True contentment comes with a God filled heart who pursues righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

Let us fight the good fight of the faith.
