Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.—1 Timothy 6:6-8 (NLT)
Generous God,
Help me always to seek to be a truly godly man, so that I might experience the depths of wealth that contentment brings.
The more that I walk in
step with Your Son, Jesus, the more I am able to be content with those things with
which I have been blessed—and the more I see that I am a truly wealthy man,
regardless of how many things of this world I have accumulated.
Help me remember that I
brought nothing into this world and that every good thing that I have has
surely come from You—that there is nothing that I truly own, for it all belongs
to You.
Keep me mindful that I can take none
of the things of this earth with me when I leave to come to home
to You—that there is no eternal value in earthly things.
Help me to trust You to
see to it that I will have those things that I truly need, like food and
clothing—and within that trusting, find my contentment made complete in You.
Help me always to seek to be a truly godly man, so that I might experience the depths of wealth that contentment brings.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
