Contentment

God has been whispering something in my ear lately and is now to the point of screaming, "Be content with who you are and what I provide for you and your family." We never seem to have enough to live the lifestyle we want (or feel pressured to live by the commercials), but maybe God wants us to give more to him and be more focused on our family and our faith. Counting on God for what we need draws us closer to him.

Abraham was very intentional about receiving those things God promised and not letting others get the credit for building him up. Of course he had times of "backsliding" where he passed his wife off as his sister and reaped the benefits, but he is genuinely trying to be the type of guy who prays to God for daily bread and a living legacy and desires only that. I am too.
