I try to keep my Facebook feed positive. Things I repost are things that inspire me or that I like. And there was a post earlier this week that made me think differently about cleaning. How cleaning my house is an act of worship toward God:
I thought it was pretty cool, and I’ve been thinking about it for a few days now. How being a good steward of the things God has blessed me with is a way of thanking Him for those blessings. Of appreciating what I have now, rather than thinking of what I don’t have.
That Biblical parable springs to mind: the three servants, given different amounts to look after. The first two are good stewards. The third, quite probably disgruntled he received leas than his friends, chose to do nothing.
He was the one looking out, not inwards. Discontent with what he’d been given. And I wonder: is that me? Am I so fixated on what’s ahead of me I’m not appreciating what I have now? Am I discontent?
That word ‘contentment’ is a challenge for me… I’ve always strived to be ‘better’. But one of my favourite verses is in the book of 1 Timothy chapter 6:
“Godliness with contentment is great gain”
And that’s what I strive for. Well, to be honest, what I say I’d like to strive for. Whether I * do * or not? I guess that’s shown in my actions.
Anyway, just some thoughts I’ve been mulling over this past week. I hope they can be a blessing to you too, dear Reader!
And have a lovely week!
