How Can I Be Content?

Contentment Must Be Learned..

 How to be
content
according to The Bible clearly teaches us to "be content" no
matter what our circumstances are. In
the bible? Philippians 4:11, Paul said, I have learned in
whatsoever state I am in therewith to be
content. The Amplified Bible describes being
content as satisfied to the point where you are
not disturbed or disquieted. It doesn't say
satisfied to the point where you don't want
change, but satisfied for now until God brings
the change.
 Romans 8 : 28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who
love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. (NIV) Supporting Verses
Even the hard times can work into God's perfect plan for your life.
Cast your care, and be a thankful person. Take inventory each day of
what you have instead of counting up all the things that you have
not. Meditate on what God has done in your life instead of what you
are still waiting on Him to do. Your flesh wants you to concentrate on
what you don't have. Your spirit wants you to ask God for what you
don't have, yet concentrate on what you do have.
Philippians 4 : 6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace
of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and
your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV)
John 14 : 27
Verse 6 sheds more light in this area by saying, Have no anxiety about
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the anything, but in all things by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. continue to let God know what you want,
(NIV) and Verse 7 the peace that passes understanding shall keep your hearts
and minds in Christ Jesus.
Jesus left us a legacy of peace. the secret of being content is to ask God
for what I want, and know that "if it is right" He will bring it to pass "at
the right time," and if it isn't right, God will do something much better
than what I asked for anyway. We must learn to trust God completely if
we ever intend to enjoy peaceful living. It is good to trust God for
something, but God is calling His people not only to trust Him "for
something," but to trust Him "in everything."
 Conclusion
Contentment has learned the lesson that Jesus is enough. If
you know Jesus, you have a God who hears you, the power of
love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven
ahead of you. If you have Jesus, you have grace for every sin,
direction for every turn, a candle for every corner, and an
anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.

Trust God! Hide yourself in the secret place (in Him). God loves
you. He is a good God who only does good things. Be content
knowing that His way is perfect, and He brings with Him a
great recompense of reward for those who trust in Him.
