Godly Contentment

God is the source of true contentment. The verses about contentment in Hebrews 13, Philippians 4, and I Timothy 6 all connect the idea of contentment with what God has to offer. Luke 10:38-42: Martha was distracted; Mary found contentment with Jesus. A contented person says, One thing is needed. Psalm 4: David found peace... Read More

Jacob in Haran
