Contentment
[kuh n-tent-muh nt] /kənˈtɛnt mənt/
noun
1.
the state of being ; satisfaction; ease of mind.
2.
Archaic. the act of making contentedly satisfied.
n.
mid-15c., from Old French contentment, from contenter (see content (v.)).
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).
