Contentment is the jumping off point for peace!

I have noticed of late that as I become content I often find that feeling followed by peace. I must explore this further! Peace is that sense of all is well and that nothing can wrong. Almost like having a guardian angel! (who would have thought that?)  God is on our side and he is making provisions for us and if we listen to Him and follow His leading we will draw closer and closer to contentment and thus peace . . . a peace that God suggests passes our ability to comprehend! How do we get contentment? By living now! The future brings no contentment, nor does the past. It is only by being in synch with the present that we can find contentment and thus peace. Living now and being happy now, content now, we can have peace. We are happy now by being thankful to God (Phil 4:6-8) for now rather than by being anxious about now.
