Discontentment
Contentment: A state of mind in which one's desires are confined to his lot whatever it may be (1 Timothy 6:6; 2 Corinthians 9:8) It is opposed to envy (James 3:16) avarice (Hebrews 13:5) ambition (Proverbs 13:10) anxiety (Matthew 6:25,34) and repining (1 Corinthians 10:10) It arises from the inward disposition, and is the offspring of humility, and of an intelligent consideration of the rectitude and benignity of divine providence (Psalms 96:1,2; 145:1)ff the greatness of the divine promises (2 Peter 1:4) and our own unworthiness (Genesis 32:10) as well as from the view the gospel opens up to us of rest and peace hereafter (Romans 5:2)
