If we do not find contentment in God, we will never find it anywhere else. But if we seek Him and obey Him, we will be blessed with an inner peace that is beyond human understanding. Genuine contentment is a gift from God to those who trust Him and follow His commandments. Our modern world seems preoccupied with the search for happiness. We are bombarded with the messages telling us that happiness depends upon the acquisition of material possessions. These messages are false. Enduring peace is not the result of our acquisitions; it is a spiritual gift from God to those who obey Him and accept His will. When God dwells at the center of our lives, peace, and contentment will belong to us just as surely as we belong to God.
True contentment comes from godliness in the heart, not from wealth in the hand. — Philippians 4:11-12
