1 Timothy 6:6-8 (NKJV) 6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being content is one of the best things I have learned over the last decade or so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Contentedness is something that really changes a person. It causes us to stop constantly searching for more and more, and to look to God as the Source of everything that is good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Contentedness is a very misunderstood idea. Many people mistake being content for living in poverty, always struggling to get by.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This isn\u2019t necessarily true.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being content means learning to be OK with what you have, whether it\u2019s a little or a lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some might think that being content with having a lot should be easy, and that nobody who has a lot is ever discontent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is far from the truth, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While it\u2019s easy to see how a person with very little to their name might be discontent, the people with very little don\u2019t understand how someone with much could ever be less than content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The person with much material wealth can still struggle with discontentment, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Part of this can come because they are never satisfied. No matter how much they have, they still want more and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some of this is selfish, while some of it is due to a lack of understanding when it comes to them knowing what true contentment really is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is only when we surrender ourselves to God that we begin to understand contentment in its truest form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When our contentment is found in Him, our desire for large amounts of earthly possessions will begin to diminish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s not that someone suddenly stops liking nice stuff. It\u2019s more that they begin to see and understand that more stuff is not the key to happiness or satisfaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And as a person draws closer and closer to God, their desire to amass things is replaced with a desire to amass eternal treasures in heaven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1 Timothy 6:6 (NKJV) 6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
