Losing Contentment

I begin to lose my contentment in the place where God has called me when:

I forget the need for accompanying godliness

I forget to rely on Christ for my strength

I worry more about tomorrow than the need to be obedient today

I spell my wants n-e-e-d-s.

I get comfortable murmuring

I forget the necessity for physical rest

I think "great gain" has something to do with my bank account

I minimize the power of acceptance and forgiveness

I get upset that people won't come to my pity-party--and bring gifts

I think that the primary reason God has me where I am is for my benefit

Contentment is a terrible thing to lose.
