Journeying to Contentment

“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” -Philippians‬ ‭4:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Can we talk about contentment for a second? I've been on such a world wind journey this past year and a half its sicken and exhilarating just to think about it. From pregnant and single to quitting a job I loved for the practicality of another. My life has really done a complete 180.

I'm learning to end the day in a place of contentment. I often find myself very angry with God because I feel He has not held up His end of the bargain. "How am I supposed to be content when you have not...?" What I've failed to realize is my journey with God is not a deal made between business partners but a partnership where He supports my weak spots and I honor Him in return.

Contentment speaks not to the stability of your current circumstances but the stability of your faith in God who controls all circumstances present & future.

He will do again what He has done before, so in this place I shall stand content.

-Erin
