St. Paul talks to us about contentment, and to know the difference between :
1. God's kind of contentment
and
2. the world's kind of contentment
---
10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. 12 I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. 13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. 14 However, you did well that you shared in my affliction.Philippians 4:10-14 ---
From the world’s perspective, contentment is almost always something that comes in the future. But the contentment God wants to give us is for the past, present, and future. It’s not for just the good times but the bad also.
God’s contentment brings us happiness and peace in any situation. The world’s contentment only happens when everything’s turning up roses.
