Contentment increases when your awareness of grace does. The more you recognize what God has done, is doing and will do for you as a free and undeserved gift, the more you will be grateful for what you have instead of grumble over what you do not have. To nurture this contentment, we should regularly look back at God’s faithfulness to us in Christ and look forward to God’s promises to us in Christ. Today, let us rejoice over past grace and request future grace, knowing that God has always and will always give to us what is best for us. We don’t have to look very hard to appreciate all that we are given; we just have to look.
