Christian Contentment

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.

[Jeremiah Burroughs]




Philippians 4:11 ... Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.


Psalm 37:4 ... Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.


1 Timothy 6:6-8 ... But godliness with contentment is great gain.   For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.


Hebrews 13:5 ... Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
