Keeping God in the Small Stuff (Devotions for Every Day)

 Be Content

          Contentment begins when comparisons ends

It is impossible to weigh your contentment on a scale of stuff. If stuff is your  measurement,

you will never have enough, because there will always be some one who has more stuff than you do.

      You will never be content  

Neither will you be content if you are proud of the fact that you dont have a lot of stuff,      

because there will always be someone who is more proud of their poverty than you are.

Stuff has nothing to do with contentment,because contentment is a matter of your heart,

not your wallet. Real contentment comes when you focus your heart and your mind on

 things above rather than things on Earth (Col.3:2)
