🍀A Content Life?
🐱 Ecclesiastes 5: 10-17 ; Parallels: 1 Timothy 6: 10
📖 The Teacher conveys the old adage that $$ (even a lot of it) cannot BUY contentment. We are reminded that we all came into the world & will go out of the world the SAME. The lives of the rich & the poor on this Earth start & end in the same manner, but Christians live their time on earth for their eternal life in God’s Kingdom.
✝️Christ died to fulfil the Old Laws & allow us to live with freedoms that even Solomon did not understand fully in his time. However, the Teacher did know that God desires for us to live a good life, live abundantly & enjoy the labor of our work on Earth. BUT we are not to “hoard” the wealth or the fruits of our labor as all of it is a gift from God! It is our responsibility to help others in their need & not trust in governments/officials to actually care for the weak. We should give in tithes to help others & not let “possessions” separate us from God & showing God’s Love.
📣What things are you “hoarding” in your life? Where do you spend your money, time? What things are in your closet that you can clean out, give away? What is a content life look like for you?
🙏🏻🐈 Oh Heavenly Father we praise you lord for another day in your grace! Let it shine upon those feeling lost & let them be guided to your light. Protect those who cannot protect themselves & let us as your children take care of those who need us most on Earth. Let our time in your word today draw us closer to you & grow our faith, trust, & relationship with you. What we have today may not be here on Earth tomorrow, but YOUR Love & mercy is eternal. Let us let your light shine through our eyes & in our actions today. In your name we pray. Amen.
