content in all circumstances...?

I've heard it multiple times... the past two days...

...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...?
