Biblical Contentment: Part Two

What does the Bible have to say about CONTENTMENT?

First, the Bible teaches that it is a way of life that must be learned.
• Look at Philippians 4:11-12.
• As Swindoll says, “It's not a gift from heaven”.
• It is also not merely being complacent. That is a self-satisfaction and nonchalance about life that ignores the responsibilities and potential difficulties around.
• Complacency has no place in a true Christian’s life. Listen to Paul in 3:12-14. Not complacent, but contentedly pressing on toward God. A life focused on His objectives not mine.
