Daily CLC Prayer verse

“But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭6:6-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “But godliness with contentment is great gain”. A CLC co-facilitator, Jeremy Garlington loves the quote, “Comparison is the enemy of contentment”. We can waste a lot of life pursuing riches that do not provide joy. Could there be a “sweet spot” where God knows you will be content? Too much and we forget Him, but too little and we are tempted to steal(paraphrase of Proverb 30). Please pray that we and our friends are thankful for the “sweet spot” God has us in and not be tempted to compare. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
