The Bible says that godliness accompanied with contentment is great and
abundant gain. What I take from that is, a godly person who is content
is in the very best place he can possibly be.
Joy doesn't come from having your circumstances in order and under
control; it comes from what's in your heart. For example, the world is
full of people who have what they think they want, and they're still not
happy. In fact, some of the most unhappy people in the world are people
who seem to "have it all."
Contentment is not about fame or being well-known, how much money you
have, your position at work or your social circle. It's not found in
your level of education or what side of the tracks you were born on.
Contentment is a heart attitude.
There's nobody happier than a truly thankful person, a truly content
person. The word content means 'being satisfied to the point where
nothing disturbs you no matter what's going on, but not satisfied to the
point that you never want any change.'
We all want to see things get better. But where you are right this
minute doesn't have to disturb you. You can choose to believe that God
is working and things are changing, and you will see the result of it in
due time.
Life is all about the choices we make, so choose contentment and
satisfaction every single day of your life. You won't go wrong when you
do.
Prayer Starter: God, I want to be content and satisfied with where I am,
right here, right now. Give me the strength to choose to be content
every single day.
Joyce Meyer
