Five principles of contentment flow from this text.
1. A contented person is confident in God’s providence.
2. A contented person is satisfied with little.
3. A contented person is independent from circumstances.
4. A contented person is strengthened by divine power.
5. A contented person is preoccupied with the well-being of others.
Complete dependence upon Christ is contented independence from all else.
