Being content is so hard in modern life especially. It seems advertising is aimed to make us want more, compare ourselves with others, leaving us feeling inadequate. This verse is so true! Thank you for the encouragement.

You got that 100% right! It is my selfish human nature that wants to win the Lottery and be a millionaire. Ive read many stories of those folks who win and the outcome of their lives are usually sorrowful and with regret...yet I still desire to win! How crazy the carnal heart can be. I need to die to self everyday. To be content...or to have temperance in all things will require the Holy Spirit's help.
The honest truth is. If we have a roof over our head, a home to live in, a bank account, a car, a computer, a refrigerator...we are actually richer than over 90% of the world's population...yet we humans desire more in this rat race of life and materialism. lol.
