Finding Contentment
Contentment is often elusive but it can be found.
Contentment can be elusive, but many times we are seaching in the wrong areas or focused on the wrong things. The Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:12-13 gives us great insight when he says "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength." True contentment comes not from getting what we want, which many times produces anxiety in the wait, but in wanting what we already have. This shows gratitude and creates a deep contentment, even in the smallest things in our lives. Thank God and praise Him for what He has already given you- even the breath in your lungs. God deserves the glory and He alone provides the deep, lasting contentment we are all searching for.
