The Daily Encourager: Discover the secret to contentment in I Timothy 6:6-8 and Philippians 4:11-12. True satisfaction is found in Jesus

Posted on May 16, 2025 by Worldwide Prayer Point

There was a father who was known by his family to be a chronic growler. He complained about everything. He was sitting one day with his family in the presence of a guest in the living room when the subject of food came up.

One of the children, a little girl, was telling the guest what food each member of the family liked best.

Finally, it came to the father’s turn to be described. “And what do I like, Nancy?” he asked.

“You,” said the little girl slowly, “well, what you like most is anything we haven’t got.”

There are some people like that, who simply are never content. If they’re served one food, they want something else. If it’s hot outside, they want it to be cold. If it’s cold, they want it to be hot. And they’d rather be ANYWHERE else other than where they’re living right now!

To the young man Timothy, Paul wrote, “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, we shall be content.” (I Timothy 6:6-8). Since most of us seem to need far more than that to be content, we are challenged by Paul’s words!

But, to Paul, they weren’t just words to be spoken and discussed. They were words to be lived out. Despite the fact that Paul was writing from prison, he was able to say, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” (Philippians 4:11). In the next verse, he said that he had learned to be content with a lot (which would be easy for most of us), but he was also content with little. The reason he could be content because he had Jesus Christ, and that was all he needed to bring contentment.

Do you have food? Do you have clothing? More importantly, do you have Jesus?

Have a contented day!

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

D.L. Moody’s selfless act of service at Northfield: A powerful example of humility and following Christ’s servant heart (Philippians 2:5-7).

Serving Others

“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” (Philippians 2:5-7)

In September 1880, D.L. Moody, the famous American evangelist, held the first of the Northfield Bible Conferences in Northfield, Massachusetts. Invited to the bible conference were over 300 visitors and among those that came to the Northfield Seminary for the conference was a delegation from Great Britain.

As was their custom, each English guest put his shoes outside his room to be cleaned by the hall servants overnight. But of course this was America and there were no hall servants. Walking the dormitory halls that night, Moody saw the shoes and determined not to embarrass his brothers. So, he mentioned the need to some seminary students who were there, but met with only silence or pious excuses. Moody returned to the dorm, gathered up the shoes, and, alone in his room, the renowned speaker began to clean and polish the shoes. Only the unexpected arrival of a friend in the midst of the work revealed the secret.

When the foreign visitors opened their doors the next morning, their shoes were shined. They never know by whom. Moody told no one, but his friend told a few people, and during the rest of the conference, different men volunteered to shine the shoes in secret.

Are you the type of servant who is ready to serve others in any capacity? Today in prayer, thank Christ Jesus that He humbled Himself to be a servant and seek to follow the Lord’s example.

“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” (Matthew 20:26)
