1 TIMOTHY 6:6-7
"True Godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all we brought nothing with us when we came into this world, and we can not take anything with us when we leave it."
Are you content with what you have now, or do you always want more? Is winning the lottery the answer to all your dreams and aspirations? Does money and wealth take up a large part of your time every day? If you desire great and abundant gain, make up your mind whose economy you should pursue, man's or God's.
Godliness accompanied with contentment is the only true great and abundant wealth or gain. This kind of contentment gives us a sense of inward sufficiency. If you want immense internal profit and true gain, love and respect the Lord. He is the true treasure that we can find. The Lord's economy is eternal and your treasure will be laid up with Him in heaven. Godliness actually is the means to great gain when accompanied by personal contentment.
What did you have at birth? You had only your eternal soul and your earthly body. What will you take with you at death? Only your eternal soul will survive this time on earth and you can take nothing physical with you at death. Your relationship with the Lord will determine your contentment while here on earth and it will also determine your eternity with the Lord. Pray that your contentment grows into Godliness and that you obtain the true wealth of a relationship with Jesus Christ. This is the only way you will find THE CONTENTMENT OF GOD.
