...be content whatever the circumstances.
Philippians 4:11
On the radio... a lesson to be learned...
...we're living in a society that is permeated by a spirit of discontentment...
...contentment is an undervalued grace...
---Alistair Begg, Truth for Life
Yes... that could be me... discontent... like the culture...
I hear the warning anew... past struggles... ground gained... but still... susceptible...
Yet... the nearer I draw to God... the more I desire His standard... discontent... when things in life... don't match with His Word...
Visions given... ideals to work toward... fight for... God-given standards... stir discontent... action to change...
Discontent that moves us to battle for the Kingdom... isn't this good...?
I've heard it named... Holy Discontent...
Without discontent... I would not move to save... restore... the lost... the broken...
I refuse to be content with... broken marriages... broken people... broken communities...
So... really... are we to be content in all... with all... circumstances...?
