Be content with what you have

"Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' " Hebrews 13:5

Content. What does the word mean?

The Greek word means enough, sufficient - to have enough for your needs.

In its context, today's verse is talking about money. The same Greek word is used by John the baptist when addressing the soldiers who had come to hear him in the wilderness, "…and be content with your wages." (Luke 3:14).

Paul is saying, Let your life be lived without the love of money.

Look around you. Count your blessings - and know where they come from. God is the kind Benefactor of His earth-born children.

May you rest content, knowing that Jesus will provide your every need.
