Being Content with What We Have Michael Edwards
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” Heb 13:5 BSB
What comes to mind when God’s word tells you to be content with what you have? If you have a lot, you might quickly agree. But, if you are struggling with a little, it can be more challenging. Is God telling you to be content with suffering and lack? Amid this fallen world, how is one to be content?
Paul had a lot to be discontent with, much worse than most of us. He kept content by keeping his eyes on the big picture. What he had or did not have in this temporary world was temporary. He knew no worldly treasure would follow him. He was even content with suffering because he knew for sure how short term this life is compared to our eternal glory. What his eyes of faith perceived eternity held became more real to Paul than what he saw in this world. The more he focused his faith on the guaranteed eternal promises we have in Christ, the greater his peace.
And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ Rom 8:17a BSB
God is not against us being healthy, blessed and having treasure. He is, in fact, a great rewarder of those who seek Him. We are not just saved; we are co-heirs with Christ, encouraged and given countless opportunities to build treasure in heaven that will last for eternity. A proper focus on the big picture helps us to find His contentment and peace in all circumstances.
I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances. I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. Phil 4:11-12 BSB
