Contentment Defined
Illustration★★★★CONTENTMENT is being just as happy driving that Mercedes as you would be if you had to drive that jalopy from college. In both cases you’d have a ride. Contentment is taking as much pleasure in that big three-hundred-thousand-dollar house as you would a two-bedroom apartment. In both cases you’d have a roof over your head. Contentment is appreciating that T-bone steak as much as you would a hot dog. In both cases you are not starving. Contentment is being just as satisfied with the designer outfit as you would with an outfit from the thrift store. In both cases you have clothes on your back and you are not naked. Contentment is realizing that God has met your needs.
The point
Contentment is finding equal satisfaction whether driving a Mercedes or a jalopy, in a mansion or apartment, eating steak or hot dogs; it's recognizing that God has met your needs.
