BE CONTENT!
Hebrews 13:5 – Devotional
Hebrews 13:5
“Let your conduct be without covetousness, be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
What is really important in your life? When all is said and done, what can you count as your most valuable possession?
There are people who live in massive and opulent homes that cost millions of dollars. It would be easy to think that they have reached the pinnacle of satisfaction, but that is usually not the case. These people are most likely to be miserable.
On the other extreme are those who live in humble dwellings that are in low income neighborhoods. Some who reside there spend considerable time and effort day dreaming about living in the homes of the rich and powerful.
Lack of contentment can be expressed in numerous ways. Some people are never satisfied with their employment, their marriage partner, their appearance, their abilities, or any number of factors that are common to the human existence.
Let’s face it–we covet the things or qualities that others possess. Even some pastors covet larger churches or larger ministries. God calls us to find our true value in Him. He leads us and directs us in the path He has chosen for us. The path may be steep or rocky, but it is the wonderful way God has chosen to allow us to shine brightly in a world of sin.
Rest in the contentment that God knows what He is doing, and by finding joy in your present situation, you may be a true minister of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
