Contentment:
a state of mind in which one's desires are confined to his lot whatever it may be (1Ti 6:6; 2Cr 9:8). It is opposed to envy (Jam 3:16), avarice (Hbr 13:5), ambition (Pro 13:10), anxiety (Mat 6:25,34), and repining (1Cr 10:10). It arises from the inward disposition, and is the offspring of humility, and of an intelligent consideration of the rectitude and benignity of divine providence (Psa 96:1,2; 145), the greatness of the divine promises (2Pe 1:4), and our own unworthiness (Gen 32:10); as well as from the view the gospel opens up to us of rest and peace hereafter (Rom 5:2).
