Keep the
important things important and set your priorities straight. Always strive to
do and be better, but also try to continually cultivate an attitude of
contentment. Being able to be content, will bring you great peace in your heart
and mind.
August's Message, Day 12:
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be
content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.” Hebrews
13:5 NIV
Money is a
great thing to have and to strive for, to be used wisely for the betterment of
self and family and others less fortunate. The love of money above all else,
being more important than God or family, is dangerous. Priorities are extremely
important, and the point of this Scripture is not to condemn money, but to
encourage the attitude of contentment. Contentment will bring you great peace.
Strive to always do more and be better, but the flip side of that coin is to be
always content, if need be, just where you are, for now. God is always with
you, and there simply is nothing more important than having Him on your team.
Have great goals, dream big, and shoot for the stars, but be content, too, if
all those things don't just happen, when and how you think they should. Keep
the important things important and your priorities straight.
