Just A Little Bit More

 

Now there is great gain

in godliness

     with contentment...

      1 Timothy 6. 6

Discontent is a driving force

   in our society.

One of the richest men in his time,

J. D.. Rockefeller was asked,

"How much is enough?"

He replied, 

           "Just a little bit more."

Never satisfied. Always enslaved.

But God turns this broken world

        right side up.

The greatest gain is not in stuff,

but in godliness, selflessness

        and faithfulness.

The contented person 

  is not distracted by the 

  urgency and tyranny of more stuff,

but seeks to be rich in godliness,

(verse 18)  "to do good, 

be rich in good works,

be generous and ready to share."

And there is never an end to that.

O LORD,

Guide us in Your ways today,

not distracted by 

       what we don't have,

but delighting in 

what You have given us,

to live abundantly

and not handicapped by greed.

Help us to go forth today

  with generous hearts.

May we know You.

May we be known as Yours.

May we make You known.

    Even by how we live.
