True contentment is not having everything,
but in being satisfied with everything you have.
Oscar Wilde
***
I know how to survive in tight situations,
and I know how to enjoy having plenty.
In fact, I have learned how to face any circumstances:
fed or hungry, with or without.
I can be content in any and every situation
through the Anointed One who is my power and strength.
Philippians 4:12-13 The Voice
***
Contentment is just the realization
that God has already provided for me today all that I need
for my present peace and happiness.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
***
Know this: my God will also fill every need you have
according to His glorious riches in Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King.
So may our God and Father be glorified forever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:19-20 The Voice

The key to contentment is to consider.
Consider who you are and be satisfied with that.
Consider what you have and be satisfied with that.
Consider what God’s doing and be satisfied with that.
You will be amazed at how much more comfortable you’ll feel with yourself.
Finally, consider this:
If contentment cannot be found within yourself, you’ll never find it.

But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment
[that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence
based on the sufficiency of God].
For we have brought nothing into the world,
so [it is clear that] we cannot take anything out of it, either.
But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
1 Timothy 6:6-8 Amplified Bible
***
Contentment, then, is the product of a heart resting in God.
It is the soul’s enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding.
It is the outcome of my will being brought into subjection to the Divine will.
It is the blessed assurance that God does all things well,
and is, even now, making all things work together for my ultimate good.
Arthur W. Pink

Of one thing I am certain:
my soul has become calm, quiet, and contented in You.
Like a weaned child resting upon his mother, I am quiet.
My soul is like this weaned child.
Psalm 131:2 The Voice
***
When Christ becomes our central focus,
contentment replaces our anxiety as well as our fears and insecurities.
