The secret of contentment

God understands our limits. He is mindful that we are but dust (Psa 103:14). He makes provision for us to rest. He gave Israel the Sabbath as a gift (Ex 16:29). He spoke to Moses through Jethro, instructing him to delegate some authority lest he wear himself out (Ex 18:17). The problem is that we are discontent. Just enough manna is not good enough. Some still went out on the Sabbath to get a little extra. We must learn to be content. Paul said godliness is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. How much is enough to make us content? Food and clothing should be enough (1Ti 6:6-8). I suspect it takes a lot more than that for an average American! So we drive ourselves to death seeking “a little bit more.”
