"Be thankful for what you have."
A simple decision that changes the landscape of a life.
The spirit of discontentment is not a fruit of His Spirit. It is what the enemy whispered to Adam and Eve in the garden that sowed discontentment in paradise.
Stuff is just stuff. There will always be the next best thing in the advertisements that surround us and fill our homes. To be content with what we have plants the seeds of joy.
"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
This week alone there have been many discontentment slayers. Clean sheets on the bed, a warm beverage in my cup, a fire in the fireplace, a warm bed, and plenty to eat. Seriously, that is the good stuff.
Do not miss the little things! They are worth counting.
Today, I am grateful for discontentment slayers.
