Paul writes these words to Timothy. This is a letter to person not to a church.

“But godliness with contentment is good. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And if we have food and clothing, let us be content.”

We could add shelter. But it is the basics that is meant. Are we content? I’m not. I want more than that.

But God provides needs not wants. Do you have food this day? Are you clothed? Do you have shelter? Are you content? Am I content? To have God, is to have all. To have only yourself is to have nothing. Not even real life according to Jesus.

He offers eternal life with God. He said, “I go to my Father.” Is He your Father? Is He your care giver?
