The Pursuit of Contentment
Welcome back to our miniseries on contentment. When I first found out I was expecting a little one, I had so many emotions they surprised me. I had planned to feel nothing but pure joy and ecstacy. However, I also felt some grief about the things I knew I would have to walk away from for a season. Now, don’t get me wrong.
I was overjoyed. Still, I recognized that every time I engaged with cultural values and got sucked into a vortex on social media, I started feeling as if I was falling behind.
That couldn’t be further from the truth, but if it is, who cares? We have to think critically about the messages we’re accepting and adopting from the culture so that we can ensure they don’t impede our ability to enjoy contentment.
Today, we’re reflecting on Philippians 4:11-13 ESV:
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
