Contentment?

How much is enough? We are always chasing something that we think we need but in fact not. By doing so we worked extra hard and eventually end up being very tired and burned out.

At the end of the day we have achieved what we want but the question is do we still have the energy to enjoy what we always want when we are so tired and burned out?

We have to learn to be contented with what we have and instead of channeling all our energies to achieve our material needs why not channel our energies to achieve our spiritual needs?

At times when we are so focus in channeling our energies for our material needs till a point that we might turn away from God and we will start giving ourselves excuses that we have no time for ministries, cell meetings and even the most basic requirement as Christian and that is to attend regular Sunday worship service.

I have experienced this before and now I pray to God to help me to avoid stepping into such traps. Pastor Benny Ho once shared about living below your needs and I like one of the example that he pointed out "you chose to drive a Toyota when you can afford a Jaguar" he also pointed out to be contented with your Toyota otherwise God take away your Toyota and make you take public transports!
