This week we ask the question, "What is the secret to contentment?" Two thousand years ago, stoic philosophers referred to contentment as "self-sufficiency," or "to be independent of external circumstances." Contentment literally means "to be held together." Inside each of us is a desire to hold it all together. Paul closed his letter to the church in Philippi describing the secret to attaining this inner peace: trust in the Giver, not the gifts (Philippians 4:10-23).
