Contentmentಮಾದರಿ

Be still, and know that I am God

Listen to the song Be Still and Know by Sam Wilson

As much as contentment can be described as a state of happiness, satisfaction, peace and ease, I’m coming to appreciate that contentment is as much a ‘journey’ as it is a ‘destination’.

While it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that once you have the dream car, the house, the partner, the job, the kids, do the dream trip… etc… that you’ll be satisfied. Yet life will always offer up the next thing to chase.

Hear me – I’m not saying that any of these dreams are ‘bad’, or not worth pursuit and working hard to achieve, BUT what is the ‘chase’ of the dream costing you?

Count your costs.

When did you last truly feel content?

If you find you’re struggling in the ‘hustle’, struggling to find or experience contentment, pause today. Find time to stop and spend with God. Allow Him the opportunity to bring peace and ease to the noise surrounding you.
