Be Content

In 1 Tim 6:6-10, Paul gives a stern warning to be content with what we are earning.  Paul then brings out some truths that we need to think about.  Godliness is actually a means of great gain when accomplished in contentment.  We came into this world with nothing and that is how we are going to leave it.  If we have food, clothing, shelter and transportation, that should be enough.  If we have a place to stay and enough to live on we should be satisfied.  Those who want to get rich fall into many foolish snares.  They also fall into temptation.  They become driven by harmful desires that lead to ruin and destruction.  It is good to remember that the love of money is the root of all evil and causes some peope to actually leave the faith and get badly hurt by the world.  Your Promises today are:  3 John 2, Matt 6:33, Rom 14:17, Phil 4:13 and 1 Tim 1:7.  Your Insightful Saying Are:  Fun is when you are having a good time with family anf friends without putting someone else down.  Prayer is an interesting thing.  When you are about to give up the answers comes.  Just shows you who is in the way.
