"Great Gain" By Diane Webb
1 Timothy 6: 6—"But godliness with contentment is great gain."
A great accomplishment is achieving godliness and being satisfied—at peace that is. Discontent is always looking at what you don't have and especially comparing yourself to others. Work on becoming a better Christian and walking closer to God. Be content where you are and with what you have now. God knows what's best for each and every one of his children, even you. He knows the ideal place to put you in order to use your talents best and help you remain inside his will. Godliness is to be greatly sought after. It is a lifetime achievement. Godliness leads to contentment over time. Godliness with contentment is a great gain. When you have accomplished both Godliness and contentment you will be truly fulfilled. This is your ultimate goal. Your goal has nothing to do with saving money or anything to do with finances or material success. Leave the provision to God. He can provide for his children and he will provide for you. You do not have to worry about the future. God already knows the future and he is preparing you already.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for providing for me and my family. Thank you for holding my future in your hands. Help me, Lord, increase my walk with you and become godly according to your will. Help me be happy where I am doing what you have given me to do. Help me recognize your will for me. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
