1 TIMOTHY 6:6-11 | EXODUS 16:16 | 1 SAMUEL 16: 11-13 | NUMBERS 17:32-36

A sense of contentment bleeds into every aspect of how we operate in this life. It's possible for us to be set free but desire to go back to our old lives simply because it's comfortable! God is okay with the moments of doubt if we can overcome with Faith in knowing who He is.

There are many reasons why we can get discontented in this life so here are three traps of discontentment.

1. Discontentment clouds our judgement

2. Discontentment convinces us that what we have is never enough

3. Discontentment doesn't give us time to rest

The enemy is constantly trying to get us to control our circumstances when the Lord is only wanting us to be in control of our contentment.Here are the three things to know about contentment:

1. Contentment brings favor

2. Contentment brings confidence

3. Contentment brings clarity

When we get used to just "enough" we will be excellent with all we have in front of us. We won't need armor to slay giants because we know that God can use us with what we have in our hands. Remember we can be expectant but remain content in every season as we trust in the Lords timing!

Application - We can be accepted by God but rejected by man. It's one or the other but which one are we pursuing? What we pursue will determine where our contentment lies.

Prayer - Father I long for you not just to be my savior but for you to be Lord over my life. I want to fix my eyes on you so that I can be content in every season. Remove all the worldly distractions and help me take all thoughts of discontentment captive!
