Day 5 A man became envious of his friends because they had larger and more luxurious homes. He was discontent so he listed his house with a real estate firm, planning to sell it and to purchase a more impressive home. Shortly afterward, as he was reading the classified section of the newspaper, he saw an ad for a house that seemed just right. He promptly called the realtor and said, A house described in todays paper is exactly what Im looking for. I would like to go through it as soon as possible! The agent asked him several questions about it and then replied, But sir, thats your house you’re describing.” You may have more reasons for true contentment than you know! Are you content in the Lord? Or, is there uneasiness in your soul because you know all is not well between you and the Father? If you lack contentment and peace of heart today, one of two things is probably true. Perhaps you have never been saved! There can be no true contentment until there is first a relationship with God. No amount of money, possessions or pleasure will ever fill the empty place in your heart. You need to be saved, and then you can experience true contentment and peace! Secondly, you are saved, but there is sin in your life. You know whether this is true or not. If it is, there is only one thing you can do. You must get before the Lord, confess it and forsake it. If you will do that, He will restore your contentment and your joy. Don’t try to be happier with things than you are with Him!
