What is the secret of Christian Contentment?
The Contented Christian is:

b. Satisfied in Every Situation (v11-12)
c. Strengthened Through Christ (v13)
d. Confident in God’s Provision (v14-19)
e. Consumed with God’s Glory (v20)
f. Fuelled by God’s Grace (v21-23).
Conclusion:
- God has not promised to supply all our ‘greeds’.
- ‘When God’s work is done in God’s way, for God’s glory, it will not lack for God’s
supply.’ (Hudson Taylor)
