In the last few months, the news has been filled with words like “worry,” “fear,” “uncertainty” and “trouble.” This passage was written by a traveling preacher and tent-maker (Acts 18:1-4) with little money and no retirement plan—yet he talks (again) about “contentment”!
- Do you find the principle Paul states in verse 7 a source of contentment, or does it trigger other feelings in you? What attitudes and values in our world need to be reset in order for that principle to become a cause for contentment?
- Have you at times in your life felt trapped in “the rat race”? What is godly contentment worth to you (or, if you don’t have it, what would it be worth to you)? Open your heart to God in prayer, and ask for divine help in incorporating contentment and true joy into all of your life.
