Contentment is difficult to define. If someone says they're content, sometimes we just think they're
lazy. Or maybe, they are simply incompetent and are using "contentment" as their excuse for not doing
more with their life.
The Apostle Paul certainly didn't fit into any of those categories. He was a visionary and a leader. At
one time, he had material wealth and prestige but then had everything stripped away from him. Yet, he
talked about learning to be content in life, regardless of circumstances. Paul knew how to get along
with humble means, and he also knew how to live in prosperity."
God reminds us to be content with the blessings He has given us and the ways He has blessed our
lives. When we're not content, we turn our backs on what God has given us and then miss what He is
doing in our lives! Discontentment causes us to focus on what we want. Contentment allows us to
discover God's plans for us.
