If we would really embrace contentment—we could experience a greater and deeper power of self-control and joy. Our happiness can’t be rooted in our marriage, children, work, singleness, or ministry. The power of contentment comes out of those who know that God is in control of their lives and always working out things for their good.

Being content removes the fretfulness of trying to be like everyone else or only experiencing joy when everything goes their way. A contented woman in whatever season of her life can be used by God to accomplish her dreams and destiny in Him—nothing is impossible for her. True contentment comes out of a desire to accept life as God has ordained and not according to the dictates of the world.

Prayer

Dear Lord, I want to be content in this season of my life even when everything seems more difficult than what I expected. I need Your Spirit to fill my heart with contentment every day. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In His Service,
