Teaching:
Contentment before God is the secret to a happy life.
God provides everything we need but not everything we want.
Envy robs us of our joy in Christ
Application:
Receive only what God gives outside of that is evil.
Do your best while waiting for God-given success.
Be the happiest person by being content in Christ.
Discussion:
Why should Christians be the happiest people on earth?
Prayer
Lord, forgive me when I deceive myself into thinking that I need everything I want, when in fact I already have everything I need. Forgive me when I envy those who succeed by carrying out their wicked schemes. From now on, by Your grace, I will be the happiest and most content person on earth, knowing that I have Jesus—He is my everything. I pray this in Jesus’ name, amen!
