Contentment

Godliness With Contentment

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

1 Timothy 6:6

· · ·

True wealth is found not in accumulation but in the combination of godliness and contentment.

Paul redefines gain, turning worldly wisdom upside down. The culture says wealth equals possessions and status, but Scripture says real gain is godliness paired with contentment. This contentment comes from recognizing that we brought nothing into the world and can take nothing out. Our true treasure is knowing God and being satisfied in Him, making us richer than those who possess everything but lack Christ.

Thank God today for three non-material blessings that represent your true wealth.

Father, help me pursue godliness with contentment rather than worldly wealth. May I find my great gain in knowing and serving You. Amen.
