Genuine Contentment
The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.
PSALM 29:11 NIV
Everywhere we turn, or so it seems, the world promises us contentment and
happiness. But the contentment that the world offers is fleeting and incomplete.
Thankfully, the contentment that God offers is all encompassing and
everlasting.
Happiness depends less upon our circumstances than upon our thoughts. When we
turn our thoughts to God, to His gifts, and to His glorious creation, we
experience
the joy that God intends for His children. But, when we focus on the negative
aspects of life-or when we disobey God's commandments-we cause ourselves
needless suffering.
Do you sincerely want to be a contented Christian? Then set your mind and
your heart upon God's love and His grace . . . and let Him take care of the
rest.
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. ~John Piper
The secret of contentment in the midst of change is found in having roots in
the changeless Christ-the same yesterday, today and forever. ~Ed Young
Contentment is something we learn by adhering to the basics-cultivating a
growing relationship with Jesus Christ, living daily, and knowing that Christ
strengthens us for every challenge. ~Charles Stanley
Contentment is not escape from battle, but rather an abiding peace and
confidence in the midst of battle. ~Warren Wiersbe
TODAY'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, You offer me contentment and peace; let me accept Your peace. Help
me to trust Your Word, to follow Your commandments, and to welcome the peace
of Jesus into my heart, today and forever. Amen
