CONTENTMENT

This week will be the last in the series about character.  The lesson is about contentment.

 

Read and think about the scripture below.  Also let's plan to discuss these two questions.

 

1.  Why are so many people so discontented so much of the time?

 

2.  What is the key to being content?

 

Have a great week.

Psalm 103:1-13 NIV (New International Version)

Of David.

    ¹ Praise the LORD, O my soul;
       all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
    ² Praise the LORD, O my soul,
       and forget not all his benefits-
    ³ who forgives all your sins
       and heals all your diseases,
    ⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
       and crowns you with love and compassion,
    ⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
       so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
    ⁶ The LORD works righteousness
       and justice for all the oppressed.
    ⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
       his deeds to the people of Israel:
    ⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
       slow to anger, abounding in love.
    ⁹ He will not always accuse,
       nor will he harbor his anger forever;
    ¹⁰ he does not treat us as our sins deserve
       or repay us according to our iniquities.
    ¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
       so great is his love for those who fear him;
    ¹² as far as the east is from the west,
       so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
    ¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
       so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
