Contentment is not a destination.
From Friday, December 11, 2009
Author Joshua Harris said, "We don't arrive at contentment as a destination as much as we develop contentment as a state of mind. When we define our happiness by some point in the future, it will never arrive. We'll keep waiting until tomorrow. If we allow impatience to govern us, we will miss the gift of the moment. We'll arrive at that point in time that we expected to provide fulfillment and find it lacking."
Philippians 4:11-13
"...For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 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 everything through him who gives me strength."
Paul says he has learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. That secret is trusting God completely...
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."
