"TRUE GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT is itself great wealth. After all we brought nothing with us when we came into this world, and we can take nothing with us when we leave it!"
Are you content with what you have or do you always want more? Is winning the lottery one of your greatest aspirations and the answer to your dreams? Does obtaining money or wealth take up a significant portion of your time every day? If you desire contentment and peace and joy then you have to make up your mind about who's economy you should pursue, man's or God's! What will it profit you if you gained the wealth of the entire world and yet lost true Godliness and your eternal soul? TRUE GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS ITSELF GREAT WEALTH!
If you want to gain something let it be your treasures that you build up for heaven. There is only one true and abundant wealth and that will be a gift from the Lord. You will only be content when you comprehend that nothing is owned by you and nothing you have will be taken by you to your eternal destination. Godliness with contentment is the only true great and abundant wealth or gain. Your profit lies in respecting the Lord and how He spoils His children. He is the treasure you are seeking. Remember that the Lord's treasury is eternal and that He owns everything in all the Universe. If the Lord is your Shepard you will have everything that you will ever need.
What did you have at birth? You only had your eternal soul and spirit that will spend eternity in one of two ultimate locations. You will make a choice as to whether you believe Jesus Christ the Lord God and ask Him to save you, or you will reject the free gift of life and that eternal. What will take with you when you die to this world? The same thing you had when you were born. You will take nothing physical or tangible. Your soul, when it is absent from your body will be present with the Lord, if you have believed in Him and confessed your sins. Your relationship with the Lord will determine how you live here on earth, but more importantly where you will spend eternity. Pray for contentment that comes with a growing and deeper relationship with you creator. Become more like Christ every day. Reject the things of this earth and instead cry out for TRUE GODLINESS AND CONTENTMENT!
