'Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsaken thee' (Hebrews 13:5).
Every child of God should allow the Lord to direct their steps each day; in thoughts, in words and in deeds. As His Children, our conversation should always reflect Him, and must be pleasing to Him. When we seek the Lord with all our hearts, we will be content in every situation of life. Our conversation will be seasoned with grace, and will stamp out covetousness. There would be no room for envy nor greed or discontentment. In harbouring discontentment in our heart, we are saying, "God, we do not trust you." We would then murmured against God; not satisfied with who we are or what we have, and begin to envy others or become lovers of money. Covetousness and discontentment demonstrate a lack of faith in the Lord our God. Therefore, it is important that we shun this appearance of evil. This can be disguised in various forms, such as having the lust of the world; the lust of the flesh; and the pride of life. All of which displeased our Heavenly Father. When we trust God and His promises, we will be content with what we have; which will bring peace and calmness to our souls and will be very pleasing to God. Our reliance and trust in God to supply our needs and give us contentment can lead us to a life of holiness and purity in Christ, our Lord. God promises to bless us, to prosper and give us an expected end. He has also promised never to leave or forsake us, even when we face difficult battles, temptations and trials. Let us take hold of the promises of God and rejoice in Him and be content in what He has bless us with. Let us not allow the seed of discontent to be sown in our hearts; because our God is always ready and able to come to our aid, when we call upon Him.
Have a wonderful day🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
