Hebrews 13:5

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

MESSAGE

When we are covetous, we aren’t truly content. In today’s world, it’s easy to disguise greed as ambition, and to chase more while convincing ourselves it’s purpose. But God calls us to pause and check our hearts and motivations in everything.

To be content means more than saying, “Thank You, God, for another day.” It’s believing that what we have right now is enough. It may not always feel like it, but it is. God provides our daily bread, enough for today, and our trust in Him will sustain us for tomorrow.

Jesus said in Luke 16:10, “Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” Here, Jesus teaches us about stewardship. How the way we handle what we have now reveals whether we can be trusted with more. If we can’t honor God with the small things, we won’t honor Him with the greater ones.

God is always testing our hearts through the “little” things. How we spend our time, how we give, and how we respond when things are tight. When we prove faithful in the small, God knows our hearts are ready for more.

In Matthew 6:11, Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” This simple line is a reminder of dependence. God’s provision is intentional—He gives us exactly what we need for today, not always what we want for tomorrow. Daily bread teaches us trust, humility, and gratitude. It’s not about scarcity; it’s about faith. Every new morning is an opportunity to see God provide again.

True contentment is found when we stop striving for more and start trusting God for what’s enough. He never withholds what we need, and His presence is the greatest provision we’ll ever have.

Am I trusting God to provide for today, or am I worrying about what’s next?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I want to thank you for your reminders that you care for and keep us. God I repent and bring you any and all covetousness in my life. Lord, teach me to be content with what You’ve given. Help me to trust You for my daily bread and to be faithful in the small things. Remind me that Your presence is my greatest provision. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen!
