Contentment is something I learn. (Phil.4:11) Not a gift that God chose to give me. I need to learn to trust God’s gifts to be sufficient and His assignments to be appropriate.
Sometimes this kind of acceptance can lead to stagnation and the “Canaan” syndrome of complaining. God’s people we’re not allowed to enter the promised land because of their murmuring (Josh5:6) I can take that dissatisfaction to the Lord and see what He would challenge me to do, being willing in the mean time to be content as I work toward ultimate goals. This is the balance between “I have learned to be content,” and “I can do all things through Christ” (Phil 4:11, 13)
As I learn to depend on my Jesus, I will learn to be content as I pursue His goals for my life.
