But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 1 Timothy 6:6-8
16 Days to Go: Satisfaction Guaranteed
Main Point: Be content with what you have.
My Pledge: Today, I promise I will not complain about anything I don’t have.
Daily Assignment: Make a list of at least three things you’ve said lately that express a lack of contentment. For example:
I wish I had a bigger house.
I don’t have anything to wear.
We never go anywhere.
After you make the list, ask God for forgiveness for not appreciating what you have.
Clean out your house. You didn’t think I was kidding, did you? Well, maybe not the whole house today. Instead, pick one room or a closet or toy bin and pull everything out. Sort everything into three piles: Keep it trash it, give it away. Give or throw away everything you haven’t used in the last year.
My Response: A major of my stuff is in storage, making this assignment nearly impossible. I went through my items before I placed them in storage and ridden myself of all the things I did not need or want.
This blog serves as a forum for me to discuss my faith, the Christian faith in an open and honest dialogue that would be pleasing in the eyes of my Heavenly Father. The editorials are solely from the heart and mind of Ryane B. Nickens. It is not my desire to impose my faith and belief on anyone but to share why I love my Heavenly Father and why I answered His call for the life He gave me. It is my sincere hope that you too will hear and answer the Father’s call on your life.
