We are all seeking contentment. It is the purpose of our activity. We chase after and define contentment by means of wealth, labor, status, religion and youth. Yet, especially in our trials, these goals are often found to be superficial, inadequate and fleeting as they are inherently transient and momentary. The failure of our worldly pursuits to ultimately produce the comfort we expect, returns us to chase after contentment endlessly. Are we ever actually content? Do we know a contentment that enables us to enjoy our lives, or does our toil determine our contentment? As we look at ourselves and the world, how are we to know true contentment? Is contentment even possible or are we relegated to fleeting bouts with happiness in our few years?Contentment examines the wisdom of Ecclesiastes to show that we can know contentment However, it does not come from us or the world. Our relationships and things are a means to experience contentment, but they are not the source of it. Contentment logically works through Ecclesiastes to prove that contentment is of God alone who is the Creator, Giver and Enabler of it. Through our almighty Lord alone we are enabled to enjoy life in its divine depth and color as it was intended We can be freed from our vain striving after the wind to take up the wonder of this life as a gift from our sovereign God
