We tend to think being stressed out is a normal state of affairs, and that contentment means sitting back and just bottling things up. For the Christian, however, contentment is something we must apply, work at, and make our own in every circumstance, because anxiety and frustration are not neutral behaviors. It is certainly easier to just go with our natural impulses when times are annoying or when times are very hard, but contentment is an important part of our Christian life. Even the apostle Paul had to learn contentment. So we shouldn't wonder why we're still in spiritual kindergartenrepeating the same lessons over and over againif we haven't given ourselves to study contentment. Thankfully, every test God gives on contentment is open book (even the pop quizzes!). In Learning Contentment, Nancy Wilson looks to the Bible and Puritans like Burroughs, Rutherford, Watson, and Spurgeon to help us develop the practical, spiritual strength and the perspective that comes from contentment.
