Contentment

Today I'm working on being content.  What's that mean anyway? Contentment according to Webster means the neuro-physiological experience of satisfaction and being at ease in ones situation, bodymind or body & or mind.  For me today I think it's a choice.  So I start "counting my blessings", as my mother always told me.  Thanking God for everything I can possibly think to thank him for.  Then I look up scripture.  Job 36:11 says, "If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment."  So then I do a check.  Am I obeying and serving?  Yes! Well then... I  have these things.  Prosperity doesn't always mean a ton of money.  It can mean the countless blessings that I just thanked God for.  My needs are met because he promised so there is No Worries there.   Serving? Trying in everyway I know how.  1 Timothy 6:6 says," But godliness with contentment is great gain."  There is Great  peace in contentment and knowing you are doing what God asks.  Not to say any of us are perfect but if we keep on getting better at serving and obeying then we will be better than we were yesterday.  Oh and look for Prosperity and Contentment because He promised they are there!
