Joy in Contentment

Content or Discontent? Which “Tent” do you live in? I remember a person talking about Christian camping experiences, and that campers choose which tent they sleep in. The choices were “content” or “discontent.” He said that my choice of “tent” would totally impact my life’s experiences. This analogy stuck in my mind and regularly influences my choice to rejoice. The apostle Paul said that he had “learned” to be content in whatever circumstance came into his life. So, it isn’t something that is just automatically dropped into our lives. It’s learned! He also said that he had learned the secret of learning contentment. It may seem that secret is very well kept! Mary and I hope to unpack some of the secrets to contentment tomorrow during our teaching time at 9 and 11 AM. Do you even enjoy camping? See you tomorrow.
