Some people strive toward accumulating wealth in order to be happy. Others try decluttering their house or simplifying their schedule to be satisfied. Yet as Alistair Begg emphasizes, finding contentment is not the secret to a good life—though it is the key to godliness. When our satisfaction is found ultimately in submission to and delight in our heavenly Father and His good gifts, contentment will originate in our hearts rather than depending on our luxuries.
