There’s an old Arabian proverb about a camel & his owner’s tent and how first the camel stuck his nose in, then slowly more & more of him crept in, until his entire body was inside the tent. It reads, “If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow.” The lesson being – To stay happy & satisfied, we must learn to appreciate what we have rather than focusing on what we don’t. The insatiable quest for more only leaves us frustrated, ungrateful, and unhappy. That’s because if we aren’t content with what we currently have, we’ll never be satisfied, even if it’s doubled, or tripled. Our pursuit of more things then only feeds into FOMO…the fear of missing out and we become a sucker for anything “New & Improved”. But as Paul told Timothy, “Godliness with contentment is great gain.”…for Paul had learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. (Philippians 4:11-12)
