Last Sunday I spoke on the topic of balance in our finances. One of the comments I made was that we should practice contentment and one way to to that was to compare down. I know we should not compare at all, but too often we, or at least I, compare up and become dissatisfied with what God has already provided for us.

As Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:6-8, “True godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, just be content.”

This might help; go to How Rich Are You and type in your annual income. You will immediately be shown where in relationship to the rest of the world you are. I think you will be amazed, humbled and maybe even a little more content. My thanks to my son, Josh, for sending me this link.
