Contentmentનમૂનો

The word contentment describes a feeling of satisfaction. It means we are happy with what we have or what we are doing. Make no mistake, being content is a godly thing. But at times, our contentment can lull us into a different experience—complacency. Complacency is a state of self-satisfaction or smugness. It takes our eyes off the Lord and His plans and fixes them on ourselves and our comfort zone. Complacency can take us away from the source of our blessing (1 Timothy 6:6-8). We can fall so in love with our surroundings that we lose sight of our call.

The best way to keep yourself from becoming complacent is to keep analyzing your attitude. An “attitude of gratitude” honors what God has already done for you. It also keeps you both humble and hungry. Contentment does not leave you without desires. It simply keeps you satisfied with where you are on the road to where you want to be.
