Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Contentment With Godliness1 Timothy 6:6
No. 231
But godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy 6:6

Paul didn't say godliness is great gain. He said godliness with contentment is great gain. The pairing matters. You can be religious and miserable — striving, comparing, never satisfied. True godliness produces contentment. If you have God, you have the greatest wealth.

Reflect

Are you godly and content, or godly and striving? What would it mean to fully receive what you already have in Christ?

Prayer

Lord, the combination of knowing You and being satisfied in You — that's the wealth I want. Help me live there. Amen.
