Godly Contentment!

1 Timothy 6:6-16 NLT

"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. But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, that you obey this command without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. For, At just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. He alone can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen."
Being content in every circumstance you find yourself in is a gift of God and wr can not achieve this by our own power or strength but by God’s abundant grace.  Being focused on Christ the author and finisher of our faith ensures that we are at peace at all times.
There are times you look at others that are maybe not Christains and they seem to get all the good stuff but we seemingly obedient children of God are lacking. God says we should cast all our cares on him that he cares for us (1Peter 5:7) , when you care for someone you take care of that person.  Just as we would take care of our loved ones as humans imagine how much care God can give us, so be content  because God got our back.

True to right living?

Matthew 15:1-6 NLT

Some Pharisees and teachers of religious law now arrived from Jerusalem to see Jesus. They asked him, “Why do your disciples disobey our age-old tradition? For they ignore our tradition of ceremonial hand washing before they eat.” Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?  For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’  But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’  In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents. And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition.
Sometimes we forfeit what is right for what is the norm and justify it by saying everyone does it . God never gives excuses why he can't heal us or transform our situations for the better. We should always be ready to do the right thing , the one that pleases God even when it seems hard and that is why we need wisdom which is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7) and also understanding to guide us on the right path.
Do the right thing at the right time and you can't go wrong with God's help.
