ContentmentSample

The more challenging our circumstances, the more difficult it is for us to be content. And lack of contentment can get us into trouble. For example, the children of Israel, led by Moses, were restless during their hard trek across the wilderness, and their lack of contentment caused them to fall into sin. They complained that God was being unfair to them, and they “murmured” against the Lord, telling each other that He had forgotten them. In response, they created their own false god instead of worshiping the true God, who had already shown them His wonder-working power again and again.
Just like them, a lack of contentment can easily lead us into carnality. A lack of contentment often comes from unrealized dreams about your future. But consider this: when God is in your dreams, how can they not come true? By surrendering your dreams to Him and committing yourself to pursue His interests, which comes from having the mind of Christ, you will find the contentment you seek.
Why is it such a challenge to be content when things aren’t going as we planned?
