The Secret Life of Contentment 5

Contentment is a state of mind; it is an attitude of the heart. Most importantly, contentment is LEARNED. And, it is learned through a growing knowledge of biblical truth and our experience with the God who promised, 'I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you' (Heb. 13:5).

Contentment means we are satisfied with our lives. It means that we are at peace in whatever situation or condition we find ourselves in God's providence.

The Christian should not be one who is easily ruffled by opposition or frazzled by a downturn in circumstances. The Christian needs to remember the assurance of Paul, 'And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus' (Phil. 4:19).
