Contentment
“Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me” (Proverbs 30:8).
This is a very hard prayer to pray, but it’s a good one. To be content with what the Lord has given will save so much frustration and trouble. “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content” (1 Timothy 6:6-8). “And be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).
More important is spiritual growth which is the result of eating convenient food and is so much more essential than worldly wealth. All the things in this world are going to be burned up. “The Heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment” (2 Peter 3:7). Only what’s done for the Lord will have lasting value. Reading this calendar will give you a small spiritual vitamin pill each day. But we can’t get too much of the Scriptures. Don’t forget to read a portion of the Word of God daily.
