Emphasis Preaching Journal

Contentment is not easily achieved in our consumer society, where the art of advertising is to get us to want what we really do not need. John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group, writes in his book Enough, "When John D. Rockefeller was asked how much was enough, he answered, 'Just a little bit more.' But for most of us, as it is said, enough is $1 more than you need. And that's a pretty good way to look at it." Faith sees beyond even our financial needs to find our deepest contentment in our relationship with God.
