Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

(1 Timothy 6:6-7 NKJV)

Two weeks ago, we visited a friend of ours who was sick at the hospital. When we went there, we met an old man who fellowships with her in the same ministry. This man is over ninety years old, but he is still strong and active in the ministry. From my encounter with this old man, I saw a man who is happy and fulfilled because of his walk with the Lord.

Comparatively, we have a family friend who is also over ninety years old, but he is an unbeliever. He was into real estate and so he is very rich. However, he has a very serious fear of death that he doesn’t want to be left alone. When he is left alone for a few hours, he acts as if he is losing his mind.

To be a Christian is the best decision that one could ever make. This is because life is full of storms (Jn 16:33). As humans, we go through different periods of difficulties and hardships. However, as Christians when we experience such difficult times, we know that the Lord is with us so we don’t give up. The Lord comforts us by His Word and His Holy Spirit and causes all things to work for our good at the end (2 Cor 1:3-4, Rom 8:28). Most unbelievers commit suicide when they experience difficulties. As Christians, we know that it doesn’t matter how dead the situation may be, God is still able to raise it back to life (Matt 19:26).

Walking with the Lord also brings the peace of God. The peace of God is different from that of the world (Jn 14:28). We experience this peace even amidst the storms of life (Phil 4.6-7). We may not have a lot of wealth and possessions, but we will still have peace. This peace stems from the contentment that the Holy Spirit brings. Peace also comes from the assurance of salvation and eternal life (Jn 3:16). We know and believe that physical death is just a change of location from our earthly address to our heavenly address.

Beloved, Jesus Christ is the only one who can successfully take you through the storms of life and also give you peace in this life. If you are an unbeliever, run to Jesus Christ today and He will warmly welcome you and transform your life. A fulfilled life is only found in Christ!

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His Word today. Let’s pray for the salvation of the souls of all unbelievers around the world. Let’s ask the Lord to help all believers to walk faithfully with Him to the very end.

God bless you all.
