Theft of contentment

Discontentment is robbing our generation. We are bombarded with messages every day that cause us to be unsatisfied with our circumstances. We walk around with this sense, this desire, to upgrade everything we have. The thing is money does not quench hunger; it only causes it to grow. So, what do we do?

This week, I invite you to consider the following questions:

• What do you have that you are looking to upgrade? Is it your TV, your computer, your kitchen?
• What is something that you did not know you needed until you saw it?
• Have you found that more money or stuff only feeds the appetite of discontentment? How have you found this to be true in your life?
• Read 1st Timothy 6:6-8. Where do you need to draw the line and be content with what you have?
• Read 1st Timothy 6:9-11. What danger comes with being rich? Have you seen this in your life or in the life of others?
• Read 1st Timothy 6:17, 18. What are the benefits of being generous to others?
• How can you begin to fight discontentment?

I invite you sit down with your spouse or family or a friend this week and talk about ways you can fight discontentment and what you can do to focus on what others need.
