1 Timothy 6:6, 8 (NIV)
But godliness with contentment
is great gain … if we have
food and clothing, we will be
content with that.
I want to be a person who is content, not complacent. Complacency comes with self-satisfaction and pride. Contentment is wrapped in gratitude.
Good morning, Lord. Teach me to be content without being complacent — no envy, but also no pride; no cutthroat competition, with no trace of arrogance; no hoarding, no boasting. I have been richly blessed, and I am grateful. Teach me to share generously, to give as I have been given.
