Day 2 - Thank God: Daily Devotional

Day 2: Contentment Over Entitlement

Reading: 1 Samuel 15:17-23; Philippians 4:11-13

Devotional: King Saul began humbly—"Am I not a Benjamite, from the least of the tribes?" Yet he forgot his origins and began operating in entitlement, disobeying God to please people. Contentment isn't complacency; it's trusting God's timing and process. Paul learned to be content in every circumstance because he understood that his position was grace, not entitlement. When we feel we "deserve" more—a better position, recognition, or blessing—we've shifted from worship to competition. God elevates the humble but resists the proud. Are you content with where God has you today? Your faithfulness in this season prepares you for the next.
