Contentment is a quality seen in very few people today. Because the world emphasizes continual striving, and the pursuit of more. Our society is always offering new and improved items, gadgets, upgrades, and conveniences that promise pleasure, comfort, and satisfaction. But no material goods ever live up to that promise long-term. Yet many people keep falling for lies instead of being content with what they have. Amazon delivery drivers will tell you that they deliver more wants than needs daily. That also includes deliveries to the paralyzed guy in the wheelchair but wants are so much less these days. Most of us today have much more material wealth and security than our parents, but contentment is still elusive. That’s because the problem has to do with the heart. We love money and all that it provides. While striving for growth and improvement is necessary, it’s also important to find a balance and appreciate what we have. Contentment doesn’t mean complacency; rather, it’s about recognizing and being grateful for the present while still aiming for the future. In our fast-paced, achievement-driven world, finding true contentment can be challenging. We are often tempted to believe that happiness is just one more possession, achievement, or life change away. However, the Apostle Paul teaches us a profound lesson in Philippians 4:11-13: true contentment comes from within and is rooted in our relationship with God. So, do not spoil what you have by desiring what you don‘t have; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. - Epicurus
