Contentment

Contentment looks to God and sees Him as the One who provides. The old word for this is “Providence.” What happens to us is what God has provided for. To recognize that our situation is from God is to recall that He is sovereign. It doesn’t mean that when our situation is unpleasant, when we are under some kind of affliction, that we don’t feel afflicted. He is not requiring us to be insensitive to afflictions. The grace of contentment is that we do not rail and chafe at the trouble.

Contentment means trusting God to work things out even when we have no idea how He is doing it.
