The Grace of Contentment
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this thought-provoking piece, Steve Gregg discusses the miraculous work of grace that is contentment, arguing that it is not a natural state for fallen man. He shares that the root of contentment is a high view of God's sovereignty and trust in His providences, involving a reduction of desires and a willingness to submit and delight in His wise fatherly disposition in every condition. Finally, Gregg emphasizes the importance of dying to self, trusting and desiring only God, and finding strength in His Glorious power.
