Contentment and Thanksgiving by Dr. John MacArthur:
If you belong to Christ, like the apostle Paul you can and should learn the secret of a contented life. When Paul wrote “godliness with contentment is great gain” he wasn’t just speaking philosophically (1 Tim. 6:6). He had learned the secret to contentment in every circumstance of life (Phil 4:11-2). While that secret eludes most people, it need not elude any true believer. For those who are willing to learn, here are six steps to a contented life from the life and teaching of Paul.
First, learn to give thanks in all things.
Second, learn to rest in God’s providence.
Third, learn to be satisfied with little.
Fourth, learn to live above life’s circumstances.
Fifth, learn to rely on God’s power and provision.
Finally, become preoccupied with the well-being of others.
Read the details of Dr. MacArthur's commentary as he breaks open the Scripture to reveal the life that is truly lived more abundantly in Christ.
