Hebrews 13:5-6

Summary

Many people believe contentment results from accumulating material wealth. We learn that contentment derives from love and that discontentment results from a focus on money. We contrast traits and results of contentment and discontentment. Those who are content are thankful and appreciative, have no expectations, experience real security from God, take their identity from God, resist cultural values and are free to enjoy God and relationships. Discontent people are unappreciative of what they have and are anxious. They carry arbitrary expectations, resulting in continual disappointment. They also experience false and fleeting contentment, compare themselves with others and are indoctrinated by cultural values.
