Contentment and God's House

Many heros of our faith have put up with extraordinary circumstances. These simply stand in a long history of Christian patience and longsuffering, starting with Jesus and continuning through the apostles, including Paul. Jesus instructed us not to be anxious about anything, even clothing nor food - a tall order indeed! This is not really our experience, as we are told by our culture that the best way to be successful is to never be content, to work and strive to get all we can, to keep your foot on the gas. But discontentment can be a rot in God's house - here, we have the opportunity to think through why.
