BE CONTENT (Day 4 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
Thoughts from your day of practice?
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5-6 ESV
What made it difficult to look to God rather than money for safety and contentment?
I find I have to be careful about our cultural voice that says “You can do it all.” or “You need more stuff.” When I look to myself or money to make things right, I get anxious and stressed.
When I remind myself that God is in charge of provision, I’m way less stressed and can become the steward he designed me to be. It’s easier to be generous to others (including my sweet hubby).
Take the day and examine those things that trouble your ability to trust God or that push you to trust in money.
Most of our garden beds are clear now and down for winter.
I pulled this little guy inside to spend the winter by my keyboard. Normally, he sits in my rosemary pot. It was a gift from my youngest grandson and it makes me smile for a number of reasons.
