John 3:16<\/a>. They tell us to be satisfied with food and covering. That word \u201ccovering\u201d includes a roof over our heads as well as the clothes we wear. In other words, we should be content with the minimum essentials and put everything above that into the work of the Lord.<\/p>\nThe man who has contentment has something that money cannot buy. E. Stanley Jones said, \u201cEverything belongs to the man who wants nothing. Having nothing, he possesses all things in life, including life itself\u2026 He is rich in the fewness of his wants rather than in the abundance of his possessions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Years ago when Rudyard Kipling spoke to a graduating class at McGill University, he warned the students against putting a great premium on material wealth. He said, \u201cSome day you\u2019ll meet a man who cares for none of these things and then you\u2019ll realize how poor you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe happiest state of a Christian on earth seems to be that he should have few wants. If a man has Christ in his heart, heaven before his eyes, and only as much of temporal blessings as is just needful to carry him safely through life, then pain and sorrow have little to shoot at; such a man has little to lose\u201d (William C. Burns).<\/p>\n
This spirit of contentment seems to have characterized many of God\u2019s giants. David Livingston said, \u201cI am determined not to look upon anything that I possess except as in relation to the Kingdom of God.\u201d Watchman Nee wrote, \u201cI want nothing for myself; I want everything for the Lord.\u201d And Hudson Taylor said that he enjoyed \u201cthe luxury of having few things to care for.\u201d<\/p>\n
To some, the idea of contentment means the lack of drive and ambition. They picture the contented person as a drone or a freeloader. But that is not godly contentment. The contented Christian has plenty of drive and ambition, but they are directed toward the spiritual, not the material. Rather than being a freeloader, he works so that he can give to those who are in need. In Jim Elliot\u2019s words, the contented person is the one for whom God has \u201cloosed the tension of the grasping hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00bbWenn wir aber Nahrung und Bedeckung haben, so wollen wir uns daran gen\u00fcgen\u00a0lassen.\u00ab\u00a01. Timotheus 6,8<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nWenige Christen nehmen diese Worte ernst, aber sie sind ebenso wahrhaftig\u00a0Gottes Wort wie Johannes 3,16. Sie sagen uns, dass uns Nahrung und Bedeckung\u00a0genug sein sollen. Das Wort \u00bbBedeckung\u00ab schlie\u00dft ein Dach \u00fcber unserem\u00a0Kopf und Kleider zum Anziehen ein. Mit anderen Worten sollten wir mit den unbedingt\u00a0lebensnotwendigen Dingen zufrieden sein und alles andere in das Werk des\u00a0Herrn geben.<\/p>\n
Jemand, der Zufriedenheit besitzt, hat etwas, was man f\u00fcr Geld nicht kaufen kann.\u00a0E. Stanley Jones sagte: \u00bbDem geh\u00f6rt alles, der nichts begehrt.\u00a0Obwohl er nichts hat,\u00a0besitzt er alle Dinge im Leben, das Leben selbst eingeschlossen \u2026 Er ist reicher\u00a0durch die Geringf\u00fcgigkeit seiner Bed\u00fcrfnisse,\u00a0als er durch einen \u00dcberfluss an Besitzt\u00fcmern\u00a0je sein k\u00f6nnte.\u00ab<\/p>\n
Als vor Jahrzehnten Rudyard Kipling vor einer Abgangsklasse von Studenten\u00a0der\u00a0McGill-Universit\u00e4t sprach, warnte er seine Zuh\u00f6rer davor, zu sehr auf materiellen\u00a0Reichtum zu setzen. \u00bbEines Tages\u00ab, sagte er, \u00bbwerdet\u00a0ihr einem Mann in die Augen\u00a0sehen m\u00fcssen, f\u00fcr den alle diese Dinge bedeutungslos sind, und dann wird euch mit\u00a0Schrecken bewusst werden, wie arm ihr seid.\u00ab<\/p>\n
\u00bbDer gl\u00fccklichste Zustand eines Christen auf der Erde ist, wenn er wenig\u00a0Bed\u00fcrfnisse\u00a0hat. Wenn ein Mensch Christus in seinem Herzen, den Himmel\u00a0vor Augen und\u00a0gerade so viel zeitliche Segnungen hat, wie n\u00f6tig sind, um ihn sicher durchs Leben\u00a0zu bringen, dann haben Schmerz und Sorgen eine geringe Zielscheibe; so jemand\u00a0hat wenig zu verlieren\u00ab (William C. Burns, 1815-1868, schottischer Chinamissionar,\u00a0v\u00e4terlicher Freund des jungen Hudson Taylor).<\/p>\n
Diese Gesinnung der Gen\u00fcgsamkeit scheint der kennzeichnende Charakterzug\u00a0vieler der Helden Gottes zu sein. David Livingstone sagte: \u00bbIch bin entschlossen,\u00a0alles, was ich besitze, ausschlie\u00dflich in Bezug zum Reich Gottes zu sehen.\u00ab Watchman\u00a0Nee schrieb: \u00bbIch will nichts f\u00fcr mich selbst; ich will alles f\u00fcr den Herrn.\u00ab Und\u00a0Hudson Taylor sagte, dass er \u00bbden Luxus
\ngenoss, wenige Dinge zu besitzen, um die\u00a0er sich sorgen musste\u00ab.<\/p>\n
F\u00fcr einige bedeutet der Gedanke an Gen\u00fcgsamkeit einen Mangel an geistlicher\u00a0Triebkraft und gesundem Ehrgeiz. Sie schildern den gen\u00fcgsamen Menschen als\u00a0Schmarotzer und Parasiten. Aber das ist keine gottgem\u00e4\u00dfe Gen\u00fcgsamkeit. Der gen\u00fcgsame\u00a0Christ hat gen\u00fcgend Energie und Ehrgeiz, aber sie richten sich auf geistliche,\u00a0nicht auf materielle Dinge. Alles andere\u00a0als ein Schmarotzer, arbeitet er hart, so\u00a0dass er denen mitteilen kann, die in Not sind. Nach Jim Elliots Worten ist ein gen\u00fcgsamer\u00a0Mensch der, f\u00fcr den Gott \u00bbdie Verkrampfung der raffenden Hand gel\u00f6st hat\u00ab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
