“Not that l speak in respect of want: for l have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content"(Philippians 4 1 1).
Contentment is a feeling of happiness or satisfaction. Its root word is "Content" which means being happy and satisfied with what you have. Oprah and work Winfrey wisely counsels, "Be thankful for what you have: you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. “ A contented is a happy, healthy and holy youth. When one lacks contentment, he or she is bound to be covetous. So many youths have today are victims of mishaps due to lack of contentment. Apostle Paul in our text said, "Not that I speak in respect of want for I have learned, in whatever state I am therewith to be content" (Philippians 4 1 1). Therefore as Christian youths, we should learn to be satisfied with what we have.

John Bunyan in his poem says, "I am content with what I have, little be it or much and Lord, contentment still l crave because thou savest such."If you need more, pray and work more.
Prayer- Help me Lord, to be contented
Challenge- There is much gain in godliness and contentment.
