God is sanctifying us daily. He’s at work, setting us apart for His special use and special service. Our level of contentment often stands in the way of our sanctification. For many years I was discontent with where God had me and content with where I had God.
A major shift happened in my life about 7 years ago. I began to have contentment with where God had me and started to have a discontentment with where I had God.
This shift was a game changer for me. God was sanctifying my contentment so He could take me to where He wanted me to go. Sanctifying contentment leads us to a God alignment.
Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6
Are you ready to make the shift?
Contentment is something God intends for us all – but as you note, on his terms, not ours. For an exploration of Paul's "secret of being content in any and every situation", see Journey to Joy – http://amzn.com/144218776X
