Godliness and Contentment

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. [1 Timothy 6.6-10]

Godliness and contentment.  It just sounds desirable.

Rewind to yesterday's post...  So much of what is turmoil in our lives is the result of selfishness and self-preservation.  Is that what is happening to me?

Father, true godliness and contentment sound seriously desirable right about now.  Help me to align myself with You and naturally find myself in Your godliness and contentment!
