Way of Rest - the conclusion

Beloved partakers of God's Grace,
Greetings to you all in the Name of our Lord Jesus.
Once again, we are sending out messages. As we round up the series on rest, we want to remind you of our availability to attend to your comments, questions and suggestions. During the break between the conclusion of this series and the beginning of another one, we intend to feature your responses to these mails, which should provide a platform for more responses, first from us (where necessary) and then from you.
God bless you.
THE WAY OF REST (Conclusion)
In continuation of our sub-series, "Entering into Rest", we are focusing on contentment. You may refer to other ingredients (previously explored) by which we can enter into God's rest, namely: fellowship, understanding, obedience, 'death', hope, belief and commitment.
 (8) Contentment
A man that seeks contentment must first deal with covetousness (Heb. 13:5-6). Basically, covetousness manifests in two ways: (a) the love of money or material things and (b) a craving for that which belongs to another (Exo. 20:17, Ac. 20:33). Whichever way, it is a manifestation of idolatry (Matt. 6:24,Col. 3:5).
The solution to covetousness is contentment. In addition, the basis for contentment is "such things as ye have" (Heb. 13:5) and not "such things as ye desire to have."
Based on the standard of God’s Word, the bottom-line is having food to eat and clothes to wear (1 Tim.6:8). While not denying the fact that God desires to prosper His people, we must also remember that "godliness with contentment is GREAT GAIN" (1 Tim.6:6). If we walk by these standards, we will know rest.
As we conclude our explorations, we want you to know that we have not exhausted everything. In addition to some areas and details we may have left out, it is possible to explore the subject from a completely different angle. If the Lord wills, we will revisit it. For now, we believe the basic understanding has been communicated.

A man that is at rest is profitable to God, to himself and to others; for he positions himself in such a way as to tap into the finished works of God. He has access to the limitless grace of the Almighty God. That could be you.
May God continue to grant us understanding.
Amen.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT ENTERED INTO A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH CHRIST. YOU CAN ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE, TO BE YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. YOU WILL RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, A REMOVAL OF GUILT AND A PURGING OF THE CONSCIENCE (Rom.10:9-10).
 FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH CHRIST, AND HAVE NOT BEEN TRUE TO HIM. IF YOU WILL BE SORRY FOR YOUR SINS, CONFESS THEM AND FORSAKE THEM, YOU WILL BE RESTORED (1 Jn. 1:9, Jam. 4: 4-10).
