Contentment is pleasing to God, and it is a spiritual trait we need on our Christian walk. A good attitude is linked to being content; it combines being at peace in whatever circumstances we find ourselves with a willingness to work to keep improving ourselves. We can be this way when we are in Christ, because being in Him gives us the inner strength to face any situation life may throw at us. The apostle Paul suffered great hardship, yet he was completely content regardless of whatever happened; we can be the same way. Contentment does not mean satisfaction with staying the same and refusing to change; it means being satisfied with the temporary situation until God changes it. We were created with a void inside us that only Jesus Christ can fill. He is the source of all truth—therefore, the only true contentment to be found is in Him.
