Learning To Be Content 5

Hello Everyone,

To learn to be content we need to always “REFOCUS ON WHAT'S GOING TO LAST”.
Give your attention to permanent values. Reorganize your life around eternal priorities.

II Cor. 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Everything you see is temporary. Nothing you see is going to last.

Everything you see in the world is eventually going to decay or rust or wear out or fall apart -- it will eventually not exist, because all possessions are temporary.

The only things that really last for eternity are things you can't see -- relationship to God, relationship to others, values, freedom -- things you can't see.

The worse thing about materialism is it clouds our vision of God.

We begin to think that all there is really to life is just things and that's so wrong. There is so much more to life than just getting things.

Our perspective gets warped.
Each of us has to make a choice, is my life style going to be determined by culture or by Christ, by the Master or by Madison Avenue. What's really important?

If you want to break the materialism grip in your life, buying things we don't need with money that we don't have, take these four steps and learn to be Content.

All For Jesus
Phil
