Overcoming Discontentment

SERMON ON CONTENTMENT

INTRODUCTION:

A. “Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whosoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and happy purchase” (John Balguy).

1. Contentment is a very precious commodity to possess in this life of disappointments and heartaches.

2. All Christians should join with King David and say, “He maketh me to lie in green pastures” (Psa. 23:2) – That’s a great picture of contentment

B. Many today are like the two little teardrops floating down the river of life. One tear drop asked the other, “Who are you?” “I am a teardrop from a girl who loved a man and lost him. But who are you?” The first tear drop replied, “I am a tear drop from the girl who got him.”

1. Life is like as is seen in these teardrops.

2. We all too often cry over the things we can’t have, but we might cry twice as hard if we had received them.
