Exodus 20:1-17• Contentment is not being driven by wanting more. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Philippians 4:11-12 • Learning Contentment…Relentlessly establish realistic expectations. Contentment = reality – expectations • Cultivate gratitude. "Give thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:20• Stake your life on that which can satisfy your soul. Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:31-33
