An Approach For Contentment

When wives think they have to own a lot of things to be happy or do other things, they might be trying to fulfill their deepest longings.  What a wife really is searching for to be content, joyful, and peaceful is to fulfill that she is pleasing to her husband and respects him.  A few weeks ago, I was thinking how I have so much stuff I need to accomplish.  I began to think on 1 Timothy 6:8 which says "With food and raiment, let us therewith be content."  The Bible helps all relationships, mostly each individual person's relationship with God.  I was wondering how it might help a wife in a marriage relationship, wanting to please her husband.  Eventually it would be good to get done the things on my to-do list, but I can rest in contentment with food and clothes first... if you're ever discouraged with a load of care in a to-do list in a day, take a couple peaceful restful deep breathes and let them out then concentrate on the laundry and food preparation or dishes.  Those priorities would be complete, you can be content at that moment, and consider how you might love and respect your husband.  Plan on giving him a back massage at the end of his work day.  :)

  1. Wow! What a powerful application! With food and clothing, let us be content. I realized there was a lot of unrest in my heart because I was not being content. This revelation has brought a greater measure of peace. Thanks again for sharing!
