Episode Notes

You never hear much talk about Contentment! Many people don’t seem to get enough or have enough of worldly goods and services. Also, when you reach the place where “all is well,” someone tells you… “That is not Enough!” I believe the societal norms of asking, begging, negotiating, and pleading for more and more tend to make life miserable in disguise.

My mother and many of the elders in my family often said it is important to “Enjoy Life because you can’t take it with you.” And you know what? They were right. None of our worldly possessions will travel with us when the time is up.

In fact, the phrase comes from the Word of God. Here is the direct quote found in 1 Timothy 6:6-8; But 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 raiment let us be therewith content.

And, when you jump over to King Solomon’s quote, who by the way DID HAVE EVERYTHING; he says in Ecclesiastes 1:2 …..Vanity of vanities; all is vanity!

Today, as you listen to the program ask yourself, ”Am I Content?” Let your answer guide you into a deeper study by exploring the desire to Learn To Be Content; like the Apostle Paul.

His life and ministry teach us this important lesson that We Need so desperately….Everywhere!! He says, ”……I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” (Philippians 4:11).

Learn to Be Content as you pursue Spiritual Growth and Maturity. Be Peaceful. God Bless You!
