Having recently posted some thoughts and resources about dealing with our discontent, I thought I might offer something from the other direction – how to cultivate godly contentment. As Paul wrote to his protege, Timothy: “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” (1 Timothy 6.6)
Thanks to the folks at Monergism, Jeremiah Burroughs‘ classic The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment can be read free online.
GRACE & PEACE 
Dennis, I love the rest of the verse. It says “But Goldlyness with contentement is great gain, for we brought nothing into this world and we can carry nothing out; having food and rainment therewith be content” !
Now thats contentment ! How many of us would be content with just food and what we wear ? If we answered that question in an honest way probably none of us ! Just look at our homes, cars, jobs, the things & possesions, even family as well as all we hold close etc… Some big issue rapped around this statement.
David, You are right on target. I do not often experience moments of such contentment – even with much more! That’s one of the reasons I posted this. I am not an expert. I am just trying to cultivate contentment in my own heart.
