Contentment is a Divine Attribute

The Scriptures continually remind us to stop worrying about mundane things or anything at all and to be focused on matters of the spirit and on being grateful.   Earlier I had posted a passage from Matthew 6 about this same topic, but speaking from my personal perspective, I think it's always good to be reminded of these things, since we reside in a world that tells us to do the complete opposite.


Philippians 4:6-9

6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
