"True GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT is itself great wealth. After all we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can not take anything with us when we leave it."
Are you content with your life? Are you content with the amount of money or wealth you have accumulated, or do you always want more? Is winning the lottery your retirement plan? Have you been able to meet your dreams and aspirations and are you content with what you have done? Does money and obtaining wealth take up a large part of your day, time and energy? Are you still trying to make that "big killing" that will have you set for the rest of your life? Maybe it is time to listen to the One Truth Today. Whose economy should you pursue, yours or God's? True Godliness which, leads to contentment, is in and of itself great wealth. If you want to be rich in God's kingdom then your goals will be entirely different in this life!
Godliness will be accompanied by the contentment of the Lord. That is the only gain you should be pursuing in abundance. Godly contentment gives us a sense of inward sufficiency and peace. That is where you will find your only true profit and your only real sustainable gain. Coming to God and knowing and loving Him will lead to your worship and respect, and the only true contentment you will ever know. Our economy is temporary and fleeting, God's economy is eternal and will never be lost. We are told to "lay up our treasures in heaven", for they will not be lost like those on earth. Seek True Godliness It leads to the CONTENTMENT OF GOD!
When you were born what did you bring into the world with you? You arrived with nothing but your eternal soul. What will you take with you when you die. Your eternal soul is the only thing that will ascend to heaven. What difference will it make what you accumulate here on this earth? Everything you have will be left to others and will not accrue to yourself. Only our eternal soul will survive this earth and nothing physical will transfer with us. Your relationship with God will determine the final destination of your soul. Your relationship with God will determine whether you are content here on earth. How are you doing. Who do you serve, God or money and possessions? Great wealth is THE CONTENTMENT OF GOD!
