THE DANGER OF DISCONTENTMENT

It’s true: A discontented heart produces troubled waters which are target-rich for Satan for Satan’s temptations!
So many of Satan’s schemes and deceptions and temptations breed in the mindset that “I deserve better & more”.
More money. More toys. More respect. More attention. More credit. More admirers. More success.
Better children. A better husband. A better wife. A better explanation. A better teacher. A better test score. A better car.
 
Troubled, troubled, very troubled waters.
One sure cure for a discontented heart is heartfelt gratitude. Gratitude calms the waters of a person’s life.
Gratitude: Calm, calm very calm waters.
1 Timothy 6:6 puts it this way:
 
“But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment.”
If your waters are troubled, be grateful! The sooner the better.


NOT MY CUP OF TEA BUT THANKWORTHY

Not bacon & eggs but bugs & eggs.

I know that the verses leading up to 1 Timothy 4:3 have to do with false, apostate & corrupt  teachers who were prone to legalism.

But one of the underlying principles is that all food is given to us by our Father’s kind hand.

” … forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.”
(1 Timothy 4:3)

Bon appetite!
