Our waiting seasons may look different, but we are on the same journey in many ways, trying to find the balancing act between contentment while contending for more. We can be content while contending for more; they are not mutually exclusive. It doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other. Contentment isn’t complacency, and contending isn’t striving. God invites us to both; He invites us to be content in all circumstances, and He also invites us to knock and keep on knocking.
Contentment isn’t where we live or how much money we have. It’s not near the ocean or in the desert (although I have a preference). We can find contentment, like Paul said, in every circumstance. And if we have both godliness and contentment, we can go ahead and consider ourselves filthy rich
