Contentment: The Greatest Asset

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. 

Refrain:

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

Contentment is about embracing the present and appreciating what we have, rather than constantly craving more. It is a state of inner peace and satisfaction of the present moment. In a world that constantly tells us we need more to be happy, it’s essential to align our views with Scripture’s perspective on contentment as believers “Be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭5‬b NIV‬‬. This scripture reminds us that a grateful heart and the knowledge of God’s presence are the greatest treasures we can have.

Take stock of what God has given you – good health, loving relationships, opportunities, and experiences. Focus on the blessings you’ve received, rather than what’s lacking. Cultivate contentment and find peace in God’s faithfulness. When we live with gratitude and trust, we’re empowered to make a positive impact, serve others, and live with purpose. Let’s shift our focus today to what God has already done in our lives and trust His provision for our future.

✝️ May we cultivate a heart of contentment today🙇‍♀️🥰

Doubt: The Invisible Barrier to Destiny

It’s astonishing how the negative chatter in our minds can stifle the greatness within us, greatness that was divinely ordained to bless the world and bring glory to God’s Name. Just as seemingly harmless habits like regular junk food consumption or inadequate rest can silently sabotage our daily productivity and, over time, morph into a lifestyle that stifles growth and hinders progress, doubt can quietly seep into our minds, whispering fears and uncertainties that obstruct our faith and prevent us from embracing the blessings God has lovingly prepared for us – blessings that require faith to access and unlock.

“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.”James‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ This verse clearly highlights the consequences of doubt: those who doubt should not anticipate receiving anything from God. This serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role faith plays in receiving God’s blessings, and how doubt can be a significant obstacle. Beloved, let your prayers be fueled by faith, not doubt for our Father’s ability exceeds our imagination and requests. I may not know the details of what you’re trusting God for, but I do know our God is capable.

✝️The only limit to your blessings is your own mindset – trust Him fully!🙇‍♀️
