Contentment: Key to Giving
Robert Dawson
1 Timothy 6:6-21
For some reason my children never connected with the Veggie Tales videos. I, however, love them. Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato are the best!
In King George and the Duck, an adaptation of the story of David and Bathsheba, Larry the Cucumber stars as King George and Bob the Tomato is his faithful servant, Lewis. The responsibilities of royalty-fighting battles, ruling or meeting the needs of his people - do not appeal to King George. But King George loves to bathe with his rubber duck. Splishing and splashing, he sings an ode to his rubber duck called, what else? ''I Love My Duck.''
One day while standing on the royal balcony in his royal garb, King George peers through binoculars and spies something wonderful-a rubber duck. King George's eyes grow wide with desire but the duck belongs to Billy, who happens to be bathing with his rubber duck on his own balcony.
Billy's rubber duck looks exactly like King George's rubber duck. Nonetheless, the king covets it, exclaiming, ''I want it.'' Lewis reminds him that he already has a duck and that the other duck belongs to someone else. ''Are you saying I shouldn't have whatever I want?'' asks the King. Lewis opens a large wardrobe overflowing with hundreds of identical rubber ducks and says, ''If I could just jog your memory, you already have quite a few ducks.'' King George's rationale is simple. He shoots a condescending look at his unlearned servant and replies, ''Those are yesterday's ducks.'' King George and the Duck (Big Ideas, 2000) written by Jennifer Combs, directed by Mike Nawrocki
We are like King George in so many ways. We are a people always longing and grasping for more, never satisfied. We are a discontented people.
1. Discontent (a grasping heart) is an enemy to spiritual growth and Godliness in our lives.
2. Discontent is the enemy of faithful stewardship and joyful generosity.
