Scripture Anchors
“But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God].”
1 Timothy 6:6 AMP
“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”
Hebrews 13:5 NKJV
“But God has selected the foolish things of the world to shame the wise… and the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong.”
1 Corinthians 1:27 AMP
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV
The Vitamin
These scriptures speak plainly — but just in case you missed the message, here’s the breakdown:
Godliness means reflecting God’s character.
Contentment means resting in what God has already provided.
You gain far more by being content with what you have than by envying what others possess.
There will always be people who have more — and people who have less.
Some have plenty and are still miserable.
Meanwhile, you’re looking across the fence thinking their grass is greener.
But God is faithful to meet the needs of those who trust Him.
The Word says:
Seek Him first.
Seek His kingdom ways.
Then all these things will be added unto you — not from greed, not from selfish desire, but from a heart aligned with Him.
He knows your motives.
He knows your heart.
And He promised:
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
If anyone moved, it wasn’t Him.
Sometimes we blame circumstances, people, or even God — when the truth is, we haven’t trusted Him with the outcome.
Before pointing outward, take a look in the mirror.
The Heart Check
The Word contains the blueprint for Kingdom life.
But it requires:
- Trust without backup plans
- Faith without manipulation
- Obedience without excuses
- Contentment without comparison
God’s wisdom is greater than ours.
His supply never runs out.
His sufficiency is enough for every season.
The Call to Action
Work on godly character — it will produce contentment.
And contentment will produce great gain.
A good day to start is today. ♥️
