Dealing With "Not Enough" 1 Tim 6:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
Dealing With "Not Enough" 1 Tim 6:8 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
The verse from 1 Timothy 6:8 in the King James Version says, "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content." This verse reminds us that we should be content with the basic necessities of life, such as food and clothing. In our modern American world, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that success is defined by what we have or what others have. We often compare ourselves to others and feel like we need to keep up with the Joneses.
However, as Christians, we need to learn the importance of contentment. Contentment is finding joy and satisfaction in what we have, rather than always wanting more. It's about being grateful for the blessings we have, rather than focusing on what we lack.
When we rely on God to meet our daily needs, we can find contentment in each day. We don't need to worry about keeping up with others or accumulating more possessions. Instead, we can trust that God will provide for us and be content with what we have.
In Philippians 4:11-12, Paul writes, "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." Paul learned the secret of contentment, which was to rely on God in all circumstances.
As we strive to find contentment in our lives, let us remember the words of 1 Timothy 6:8. Let us be content with the basic necessities of life and trust that God will provide for us. Let us focus on being grateful for what we have, rather than always wanting more. And let us find joy and satisfaction in each day, knowing that we are meeting God's standard of success by relying on Him.

Unlimited Resources
Friday, July 10, 2020
by Dr. Paul Chappell
"For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof."
Psalm 50:10-12
The renowned teacher Harry Ironside was in a prayer meeting for a seminary at which he often lectured. The school was in critical need of $10,000 to keep the work going, and a group of men were praying together for this need. Ironside prayed, "Lord, you own the cattle on a thousand hills. Please sell come of those cattle to help us meet this need." Shortly after the prayer meeting, a check for $10,000 arrived at the school, sent days earlier by a friend who had no idea of the urgent need or of Ironside’s prayer. The man simply said the money came from the sale of some of his cattle!
The popular teaching in our day of the "prosperity Gospel" is completely false. It is not God’s will and plan for every Christian to be rich. However, it is also true that when we pray, we are making our request to Someone who has unlimited resources. None of our needs pose any challenge to His ability to meet them. You will never offer a prayer that will require God to dig into His reserves to answer. He has more than enough for every need.
Andrew Murray wrote: "Beware in your prayer, above everything, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do." The things that are impossible for us are fully possible for Him. Yet too often we pray small prayers, not expecting God to do great and mighty things. His loving nature and almighty power have not changed. God is still in the business of hearing and answering big prayers.
Today's Growth Principle:
When you pray, make sure that your requests are made in view of all that God can do—don’t settle for less than He has for you
