Worship into the Week- True Contentment

 

Worship into the Week-

1 Timothy 6: 6-19

True Contentment

v.6 "But Godliness with contentment is great gain, 

for we brought nothing into the world 

and we cannot take anything our of the world.

v.8 But if we have food and clothing,

with these we will be content.

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation,

 into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires

 that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.

 It is through this craving some have wandered away 

from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. 

Fight the Good Fight of Faith

v.11 "But as for you, O man of God, flee these things.

Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, 

love, steadfastness, gentleness. 

Fight the good fight of the faith. 

Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called

 and about which you made the good confession

 in the presence of many witnesses.

v.17 As for the rich in this present age, 

charge them not to be haughty,

not to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, 

but on God, who richly provides us 

with everything to enjoy.

v.18 They are to do good, 

to be rich in good works, 

to be generous and ready to share, 

thus storing up treasure for themselves 

as a good foundation for the future, 

so that they may take hold of

 that which is truly life.

v.20 O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you.

 Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions

 of what is falsely called "knowledge,"

 for by professing it some have swerved from the faith."

I decided to include this whole text 

because I have been reading this

 over and over this week.

Truly the guide for an abundant life focus.

Very easy to see how we get off-track

with the "run for the money" culture.

How the slow slide

can become a swerve from the faith.

Oh Lord, help me to guard 

the deposit entrusted to me.
