“But godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Timothy 6:6
Living outside the city limits in a wooded area has its blissful
perks—most of the time. Low bar or no bar signals indicate poor reception and can
be frustrating, but that’s a price one pays for country-like living.
Discontentment causes disconnects. Poorly handling stressful situations
or carelessly living can block our receiving God’s instructions. Although nothing
or no one can separate us from Him (Ps 139:7–10), we can lose our connection to
God by our disobedience: wrong actions or not acting when we should. We must decide
daily to deal graciously with God’s providence, live rightly, and be thankful
for His many blessings. Dissatisfaction, ungodly reactions, and fearlessly straying
from what God wants are costly.
“Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble
therewith.” Proverbs 15:16
