BE GODLY AND GAIN!

"The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted. When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation. The hopes of the godly result in happiness but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing."(Prov. 10:24-25;28,NLT) I always wanted to understand why Paul wrote to Timothy that, "Godliness with contentment is great gain" I wondered how being content can be of gain? In our world today, the word CONTENTMENT is not so common. You can see from our scriptures quoted that, the hopes of a righteous man will be granted. There are no limitations, and what they hope for, is what they receive. No disappointments! We also see that, even though the storms of life may come, the godly have a strong and lasting foundation. They are unmovable! Lastly the hopes of the righteous will end in gladness. Sorrow can not consume them. This makes me understand why godliness with contentment is great gain. Be godly!
