LEARNING TO BE CONTENT
/“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything t hat belongs to your neighbor.*
*/*Ex 20:17*
* *
"TO COVET": The *[UNCONTROLLED]* Desire To Acquire
* *
*THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF WANTING MORE*
/10//Whoever loves money (A)*never has money enough*; whoever loves wealth is (B)*never satisfied* with his income.
This too is meaningless.//
//11//As goods increase, (C)*so do those who consume them*.
And what (D)*benefit are they to the owner except to feast his eyes on them*?// //12//The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of a (E)*rich man permits him no sleep*.//
//13//I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: *wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner*./*/
/**Ecc 5:10-13*

*[FATIGUE]*
*HOW I CAN LEARN CONTENTMENT*
1.
I NEED TO *[RESIST]* COMPARING MYSELF TO OTHERS.
/2//Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.//
//3//If anyone thinks he is *something when he is nothing*, he deceives himself.//
//4//Each one should *test his own actions*.
Then he can take pride in himself, *without comparing himself to somebody else*,// //5//for each one should *carry his own load*./*
Galatians 6:2-5*
2.
I NEED TO *[REJOICE]* IN WHAT I DO HAVE.
/18//Then I realized that it is *good and proper for a man to eat and drink*, and to *find satisfaction in his toilsome labor* under the sun during the few days of life God has given him—for this is his lot.//
//19//Moreover, when God gives any man *wealth and possessions*, and *enables him to enjoy* them, to *accept his lot* and *be happy* in his work—*this is a gift of God*./* **Ecclesiastes 5:18-19*
3.
I NEED TO *[RELEASE]* WHAT I HAVE TO HELP OTHERS.
/32//“Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.//
//33/*/I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing./*/
//34//You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.//
//35//In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of *hard work we must help the weak*, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘*It is more blessed to give than to receive*/*.’** ** **Acts 20:32-35*
4.I NEED TO *[REFOCUS]* ON WHAT'S GOING TO LAST.
/16//Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.// //17//For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.//
//18//So *we fix our eyes* not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal./* 2 Corinthians 4:16-18*
/Then he said to them, “*Watch out*!
Be on your guard against all* kinds of greed*; a man’s /*life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions*/.”/
*Luke** 12:15*
