"I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content."
~Philipians 4:11
Discontent! Was there ever a time when there was so much restlessness in the world as there is today?
We very much doubt it.
Despite our boasted progress, the vast increase of wealth,
the time and money expended in daily pleasure,
discontent is everywhere.
No class is exempt.
Everything is in a state of flux, and almost everyone is dissatisfied.
Many even among God's own people are affected with the evil spirit of this age...
This much is clear: contentment comes from within not without;
it must be sought from God,
not in creature comforts.
~Arthur Pink, "Contentment"
