This is the final message in and our exploration into joy as we move throughout the letter to the Philippians. We end our journey with the same topic that Paul ends his letter on...What is this topic? Contentment. Paul ends his letter with a key part of finding joy in our lives, and that is contentment. Contentment is the idea that we can actually be deeply satisfied...We can be fulfilled people, right now. Paul is not talking about some exclusively future reality, or even a hypothetical reality, but he’s talking about something real: a posture, an inner disposition, that we can actually live into and experience. Tune in to hear about Paul’s keys to contentment found in the final verses of Philippians.

We have been looking at the letter that the Apostle Paul wrote to the church of Phillipi for weeks now, in particular looking for joy. Joy is all over the letter, but Paul ends his letter with a key element in finding joy in our lives, contentment. The idea that what we have is enough. That we can be happy, fulfilled people, right now. Not some future hypothetical reality, but right now. God’s abundance in our lives, paired with generous giving out of that abundance, grows contentment. We probably won’t build contentment in a day, but could we practice looking for signs of Jesus’ abundance in our lives? I think part of Jesus’ teaching about contentment is to begin to notice and appreciate the extravagance of God in the details of our lives. A good meal. A needed rest. A walk to see the beauty of nature. In our focused times with Jesus this week, let’s focus on gratitude for His abundance and care for us.

Generosity Pleases God’s Heart. It is not ultimately the size or the amount of our generosity, we have all been given different levels of financial resources and capacity for our generosity. The heart of generosity is a matter of the heart. Jesus said where your treasure is your heart will be also. One of the greatest indications of the progress of your spiritual and virtual formation is your generosity of time, talent and treasure! Our generosity not only speaks to our spiritual formation, it also speaks of our contentment. Contentment and generosity go hand in hand. What I have discovered is that the most content are the most generous.The most generous are the most content. They are also the most joyful.
