We as humans are born knowing how to be discontent. The sense of contentment we do experience is usually a momentary response to ideal circumstances, and it has almost nothing to do with the learned contentment Paul talks about in Philippians 4:10-13. This learned contentment is something that grows internally, and does not grow in response to acquiring more stuff or eliminating stress from our lives. How does it grow then? It is completely dependent on the work of God in our hearts.
