DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 43; Psalms 20-21; Matt. 25:1-30
But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6
Someone asked John D. Rockefeller, “What does it take to make a man happy?” His reply was simple and direct, “Just a little more than he has.” Scripture tells us, “For I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content” (Phil. 4:11). Our spiritual blessings flow from a person, Christ and not from things or belongings. Are you in difficult times today? Be godly. Be content. And you will have great gain.
—Robert Gentile
I take the cross of Jesus, for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss;
My sinful self my only shame; my glory all the cross.
—Elizabeth C. Clephane
