Godliness
with contentment is great gain.
أمّا خِدمَةُ اللهِ مَصحُوبَةً
بِالقَناعَةِ، فَإنَّها ثَروَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ.
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 the true Lord of our lives.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for loving me with a deep
and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for
the riches of Your grace upon my life. 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. LORD, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me
with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can bring every
thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and so that I can feel the
warmth and contentment of my fellowship with Jesus in whose mighty name I pray. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
