Jim's Devotional - November 4th

For what are you thankful today?

Did you know that you are wealthy? Paul gives us the basic necessities of life in 1st Timothy 6:8, “And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.” Do we have food and clothing? As I look at myself in the mirror it is obvious that I do pretty well in the food department.

One penny over the basic necessity of food and clothing puts us into the category of the wealthy. Wealth is relative. To the billionaire, the person that only has one million dollars is not wealthy. To the millionaire, the person who only has 100 thousand dollars is not wealthy. To the person who has 100 thousand dollars, the person who only has 100 dollars is not wealthy. To the person who only has food and clothing, anything else makes him wealthy.

Today we are thankful for food and clothing and the one penny over.
