Hebrews 13:5, Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for JESUS has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6, So we can confidently say, “The LORD is my Helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” How easy it is to overlook blessings already ours! The late T. DeWitt Talmage demanded an inventory of present possessions, writing: It is high time you began to thank GOD for present blessing. Thank HIM for your children, happy, buoyant, and bounding. Praise HIM for your home, with its fountain of song and laughter. Adore HIM for morning light and evening shadow. Praise HIM for fresh, cool water, bubbling from the rock, leaping in the cascade, soaring in the mist, falling in the shower, dashing against the rock, and clapping its hands in the tempest. Love HIM for the grass that cushions the earth, and the clouds that curtain the sky, and the foliage that waves in the forest. Thank HIM for a Bible to read, and a cross to gaze upon and a SAVIOR to deliver. William R. Newell says of our text, but mark that great word content, that GOD uses to describe that state of heart pleasing to HIM in HIS people. Content with such things as ye have. Would that these words described all Christians! SO MANY PEOPLE GRUMBLE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT THEY DONT HAVE; AND FORGET TO THANK GOD FOR WHAT THEY DO HAVE...
