Contentment
   a state of mind in which one's desires are confined to his lot
   whatever it may be (1 Tim. 6:6; 2 Cor. 9:8). It is opposed to
   envy (James 3:16), avarice (Heb. 13:5), ambition (Prov. 13:10),
   anxiety (Matt. 6:25, 34), and repining (1 Cor. 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 (Ps. 96:1, 2; 145), the greatness
   of the divine promises (2 Pet. 1:4), and our own unworthiness
   (Gen. 32:10); as well as from the view the gospel opens up to us
   of rest and peace hereafter (Rom. 5:2).
