We live in a world that constantly tells us we need “more” to be happy – be it money, possessions, or recognition. However, this exhausting pursuit often blinds us to God’s gifts already in front of us. The Biblical code for true contentment shows us how to embrace ambition without falling into greed, and find lasting peace in Christ no matter the circumstances.
