Contentment January 11, 2016

1 Timothy 6- 6-10      Now godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.  But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Like the Rolling Stones, we can’t get no satisfaction….

We take a vacation of a lifetime and before the thing is over we’re already planning another and dreading returning back to our routines.

We are not satisfied….teenagers walk around saying “if only I were an adult.” And adults are longing to be carefree kids. Single people want to be married and married people are dropping their commitments left and right.

Stop looking at the world for satisfaction….if it were there don’t you think someone would have found it by now?  Are you too caught up in the hype to see that the world will continue to try to sell you the NEXT BEST THING! How do you correct your vision to see the things of God?
