Day 309 Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain Sometimes we get so busy getting more we dont enjoy what we have. But the Bible teaches us that some things that are more important than money. I really believe the greatest threat to marriages and families today is financial over commitment. We get over-extended financially; so then we get over-extended in our schedule as we work harder to make ends meet. The solution is to learn contentment. The Bible says, But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 1 Timothy 6:6-7 (NIV) What is contentment? Contentment means my happiness is not dependent upon circumstances. Most people get caught into when thinking: When I get a certain job ... When I can retire ... When I get the house paid off ... When I get the bills paid off ... then Ill be happy! God says, No, once you get there, youll always want something else. If you dont learn contentment, youll never be happy. Youll always want more.
