The Wealth of Inner Peace
But godliness with contentment is great gain.—1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
“My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”—Jeremiah 2:13 (NIV)
In the above verse, Jeremiah points out that, people make the mistake of looking to the wrong things, “broken cisterns”, ideas or beliefs that don’t hold water and that can never truly satisfy. Jesus gives us a spring of Living Water that will never run dry.
Lord, only You can satisfy the longing in my heart.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.—1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws. I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.—Psalm 119:62–63 (NIV)
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.—Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
