1 Timothy 6:6-8

"Serving God does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have. We brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out. But, if we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with that.

We live in a world in which we are bombarded with messages to find peace and pleasure in purchases and consumption. The reality is though is that those things are fleeting and instead of providing pleasure they offer pressure. The true path to contentment is a spiritual gift from God. When we keep our focus on Him and His intentions for our lives, when we keep Him at the center of our focus, peace and contentment is what we find.
