Don’t worry, be happy!

Don’t worry, be happy is an awesome song, but there’s a better way to move through life. Since happiness seems so fleeting, is there a better way, really?

The key is “CONTENTMENT”. You may have little or much, but we are all tempted to let money and the stuff money can buy control our happiness. It’s time for a change.

The Apostle Paul, in Philippians 4 talks about the “secret of contentment.” Here, in 1 Timothy, he reminds us of the power of contentment.

“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. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:6-10 NIV)
