We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodSample

Day 180 of 365

In Ecclesiastes 5, Solomon writes, “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied.” This insight reveals the futility of endless striving, warning us that true contentment cannot be bought or achieved. Instead, it comes from trusting God and embracing what He provides. In Acts 9, we see Peter ministering to others with a heart of service, meeting both physical and spiritual needs. His contentment and purpose are found not in what he has but in his devotion to God’s calling.

The Holy Spirit cultivates within us a spirit of contentment, freeing us from the pressure to constantly pursue more. Contentment grows when we rely on God as our provider, knowing that He meets our needs and is enough. When we live with this perspective, we’re able to find joy in serving others and rest in God’s presence.

Today, invite the Holy Spirit to help you live in contentment. Release any desires that may hinder your peace, and choose to trust that God will provide what is truly needed. As you focus on Him, may you experience a deeper joy and satisfaction that comes from knowing and serving God.
