You know and I was guilty of this of constantly asking God " Could you bless me with this new..." or "If you would just give more ..." . The ... could be money, a new car etc. But I had to ask myself this of "am I showing God I can be trusted with what I have". How can I ask God for more money if I don't treat it well, if I dont tithe, or if I don't bless kingdom projects with my increase. This is where contentment comes in I used to think that it meant that I was settling, I was so wrong. I'm not comparing myself to others, telling God that you can trust me to take care of what you have blessed me thus far, am I open to receiving more because I am a good steward.
