Peace and contentment

These Scriptures have really helped me because peace and contentment has many times seemed very fleeting...

Because His Grace is sufficient for me, (2 Corinthians 12:9,) I can be content in whatever situation I am in, (Philippines 4:11.) And 1 Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

2 Peter 1:2-4... Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Notice it's through the knowledge of Him...that makes the statement Paul made in Philippines 3:10; "that I may know Him" even more important for us too. Especially in light of the Lord's reply to the foolish, unprepared virgins in Matthew 25!
