The Secret of Contentment - Philippians 4:10-13

Jobey McGinty

We often wait for changes in circumstances, places, and emotional states to bring us contentment, but these things will constantly change from day to day...even minute to minute.  We find ourselves restless and discontent, frustrated by our own sin and circumstances we cannot change.  True contentment, however, can only come from judging God's goodness based upon the cross of Christ and not on the circumstances we find ourselves in.  When we start to trust His good choices for our lives we are ruled less by our circumstances and more by His unchanging love.
