One of the hardest thing to master in this life will be Contentment. We struggle to come to a place of feeling satisfied with the things in our lives. We ask questions such as these:
When will I have enough?
Why is this wrong?
When will this change?
Why can't that person be different?
In reflecting on this topic, Benjamin Franklin once remarked: "Contentment makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor."
The writer to the Hebrews adds his clear voice on this issue:
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said: “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”(Hebrews 13:5)
Question: What is the one thing that is causing you discontent at the moment? Is God perhaps trying to teach you something through this particular situation?
