Discontent always presents an opportunity to re-evaluate, restructure, and re-gain momentum. In memoments of discontent we can be tempted to give into frustration and fear. However, there is better choice to be made. Instead of giving into paralysis, we can use the energy of discontent to stir up the passion and determination needed to fulfill your purpose and live life abundantly.

I love that. Discontent is nothing more than a sign of a necessary change hiding behind a corner.

I agree completely. Contentment is good when it comes to stuff, but it is dangerous when it leads to complacency.

Discontentment is a result of not counting one’s blessings.

  I appreciate you chiming in Rollie. I agree that a lack of gratitude can definitely be a cause of discontent. However, I also believe that at times God will use discontent to draw us deeper in relationship with Him and to complete His mission on earth. The great awakenings that we read of were all started on the notion of people who were spiritually discontent. I strongly believe that if the church, at large, would become discontent with complacency, revival could once again break forth…. Just thoughts that run through my mind.

That’s a good idea to consider our feelings of discontentment as an opportunity to re-evaluate. Great thought.
