Contentment Part II

Contentment is key to trusting in God's resources not your own.  We have to trust that he will provide for us in the future.
As followers of Christ, we can't trust in our own resources.  Peter says we can't take anything out of this world and that we have to be content in the things God has given us. If we desire too much of this world we could fall into greed and temptation.  We succumb to the desire of wants the things of this world.  In Colossians 3:2 says that we should "set our hearts on things above not on earth."
Also, it is important to not worry about our life because it will provided for us by God if we follow him.  Matthew 6:25-34 describes how we should not worry about our life and the cares of this world because it will be provided for us if we follow God.  Matthew reminds us in 25-27 that we cannot worry about this life because it is all of value to God.  While 28-31 describes how we shall not worry about clothes because God knows all the things that we need.  We shall seek God and all things shall be given to us.
In conclusion, Matthew 34 says "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." He reminds us that God will take care of us wherever we go in life and whatever we do.  Each day is it's own to use for God's glory.
God knows our needs and take care of them in the right time.  We just have to trust him that we will provide for us.  God also calls us to be content with what we have and everything else will be provided to us.  For he is faithful and in control of our life.
