Being content is NOT a demonstration of lack of ambition!
Quite the opposite, it takes a lot of will power, discipline and ambition to go against the ‘norm’ and not always want more!!
The other day I wrote my story of God’s blessings. They were so much more than I could have expected or asked for.
But having them it was still easy to fall into the trap of wanting more. Not needing, but wanting. Although I had recieved way more than my actual needs on that day, I found myself wanting to replace my lost sunglasses and thinking about my sandles that are becoming painfully worn.
That bothered me because I felt like it was a never ending cycle….but God being as amazing as He is lead me to a devotional reading and scripture on contentment.
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. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
1 Timothy 6:7-9 NIV
It’s ok to be content…my ambition only needs to be what the Holy Spirit leads it to be! For in my contentmemt I am being close to God, showing patience and trust …faith …fully in my Father!
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1 Timothy 6:6 NIV
So my day started with a brother in Christ asking me what I was doing…I said ” waiting for God to lead me as to what His plan for me today will be”…… and I wasn’t wrong in this….for God lead me to another lesson and another assuring way of being closer with Him. ❤❤🙏🙏
