Paul realised that contentment is something we have to learn. It does not come naturally. But by counting our blessings in Christ and relying on his strength and grace - not only to help us in our circumstances, but also to help us battle our discontentment - we can learn to be content, whatever the circumstances. By counting our blessings instead of our dreams, contentment will come much easier.
In Christ we are promised all we need. Anything else is an extra. So let's be content whatever the circumstances, knowing that our life is in the hands of the Lord and he knows what is best for us.
