August 17 Devotion - True Contentment




Godliness with contentment is great gain.

واما التقوى مع القناعة فهي تجارة عظيمة.

1Timothy 6:6



Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content

ليس اني اقول من جهة احتياج فاني قد تعلمت ان اكون مكتفيا بما انا فيه.



Philippians 4:11



What really is contentment?

According to the Holman Bible Dictionary, contentment is:

“An internal satisfaction which does not demand changes in external circumstances”

We achieve contentment when we can seek the things of God above the things of the world. When our relationship with Christ dominates our thoughts and Jesus is our Lord.



I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Teach me Lord to be content under all circumstances. Help me to put my relationship with You Jesus above all others and to draw contentment from the richness of Your love and grace.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
هادمين ظنونا وكل علو يرتفع ضد معرفة الله ومستأسرين كل فكر الى طاعة المسيح

Jesus loves you
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
