contentment
n
:
happiness
with
one's
situation
in
life
[
ant
:
discontentment
]
From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Contentment
a
state
of
mind
in
which
one's
desires
are
confined
to
his
lot
whatever
it
may
be
(1
Tim
. 6:6; 2
Cor
. 9:8).
It
is
opposed
to
envy
(
James
3:16),
avarice
(
Heb
. 13:5),
ambition
(
Prov
. 13:10),
anxiety
(
Matt
. 6:25, 34),
and
repining
(1
Cor
. 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
(
Ps
. 96:1, 2; 145),
the
greatness
of
the
divine
promises
(2
Pet
. 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).
