Contentment

Contentment isn't being in control, it's knowing that God is.

Very cool. Here's a verse I found on that last night: "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." ~Psalm 46:10. And... "Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time." ~Daniel 11:35 Here's another idea, by Elisabeth Elliot: "Commitment is a deliberate conveying to another the control of that desire." What think?

I agree, Alegra! I think that God put things like that in his Word to tell us to rely on him. But we aren't sure. God knows everything, and he just wants to get that through our thick heads!
