Being Content in the Lord

Today at church one of our pastors, talked about what it means to be content in the Lord and what it looks like.
Some of the things Mr. Law said were,
1. Contentment is empowered by Christ
2. God has brought us to find sufficiency in things related to God
3. Being content in God will bring you genuine joy.
4. Christ sufficiency entails being Christ - satisfied.
5. Happiness and fulfillment in the Lord is something people can NEVER take away from you.
6. Obviously, we are not born content. Contentment is worked out through trials.
7. Contentment does not exist apart from God. We cannot be secure apart from Christ.
8. Contentment that is genuine and endures is not possible apart from God's power.

Take a few minutes to dwell on those truths because they were so powerful for me to hear, and i surely hope they speak to you as well.
You can find that message by Aaron Law on www.metrolife.org I would ENCOURAGE you to take 45 minutes and listen to it. It is well worth it.
