Perhaps you’ve never thought of discontentment as a root cause for your unhappiness, but as a Christian, you really should. It just might be that you have underestimated the misery this common sin can produce. Many of those who seek counseling advice for any number of problems unknowingly struggle with this issue. It is the underlying problem for many. What is the opposite of contentment? Why, that would be discontentment, of course. But you will not find the word discontentment in too many concordances. What we are really looking at is covetousness.
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5 NKJ; cf. Ecclesiastes 5:10)
