Learning Contentment in Affliction
Scripture
“I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” — Philippians 4:11
Personal Reflection
Contentment is not natural—it is learned through submission to God’s will in hardship.
Contemplation
Am I striving for control instead of contentment?
Puritan Quote
Jeremiah Burroughs wrote, “Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet frame of spirit which freely submits to God’s disposal.”
Prayer
Father, teach my heart to rest quietly in Your will.
Application
Thank God today for something difficult you would normally resist.
