“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.” 1 Timothy 6:6-8  

We need to understand the differences between needs and wants.  We may have all we need to live and we must remember that is the driving force.  We mustn’t let ourselves become anxious and discontented because we want something and we do not get it.  We must understand want is not need.  We must choose to be content without having all that we want otherwise we will be a slave to our desires.

My prayer for you today is that you remember you have what you need, but you don’t always have to have what you want.
