Good morning Father.
The dictionary tells us that Godliness is conforming to the laws and wishes of God. It tells us that contentment is the state of being satisfied. And you tell us, Father, that the combination of Godliness and contentment is great gain. Not just a little gain, but great gain. What an incredible God you are to offer such a gift.
You offer times of peace, smiles of acceptance, relief, quietness and rest. You offer us satisfaction that eliminates all of our cravings. And yet somehow we overlook Your precious gift. We hang on to our busy schedules, our frustrations, and our worries.
We trade contentment for debt, we trade Godliness for ulcers and headaches; and yet your gift still remains, ready and waiting for us to accept what you offer.
Forgive us father for hanging on to our selfish lives. Help us accept You and the gifts you so freely offer us. Give us an understanding that makes us run to you at the first sign of worry; at the first sign of frustration; and at the first sign of fear.
Be blessed as we praise, Father; Be honored as we worship and may Your kingdom come and Your will be done here, just like it is in Heaven.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen
