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
Instead of complaining at his
lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances
are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more
than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares
for him. Such an one is “content” with such as he has (Heb. 13:5).--A.W.
