- Contentment
is the result of submitting to whatever God has allowed.
- There is
an artificial feeling of contentment when someone gets a thing
longed for or when there is an avoidance of a thing dreaded.
That is not really contentment, but rather it is a short-lived
satisfaction because one has gotten one's way.
For the believer contentment can
come in the most difficult situations and even during grief.
We must affirmatively take to ourselves
each thing that has been allowed as something God has done.
He knows and sees the end, and our capacity to even imagine
the outcome is so tiny.
The only alternative, of course,
is discontent.
- That is sin.
