Cursed or Blessed?

Be Thankful

Gratitude is one of the greatest weapons for battling discontentment, disappointment, and covetousness.

Why is contentment such a struggle? For many people, buying things temporarily fills a void inside. We want because we sense that we do not have. Others seek to gain their worth and value from what they have or what they have accomplished.

The question we should be concerned about is not “Is Christ sufficient for me?” But “Is Christ sufficient to qualify us for the covenant blessings of God, though we have broken the Old Covenant?” In Christ, we have all we need. In Christ, we find our sufficiency.   

"Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit." - 2 Corinthians 3:4-6
