There are two variations of contentment in ministry. the first is fleeting and the second is enduring. The fleeting type is derived from limitations of material comfort, while the enduring type is attained through the gradual growth of your relationship with God. At a glimpse it might be difficult to decipher one from the other, but as time rolls on it becomes vividly obvious that the latter is far superior.
Enduring contentment sustains itself through life’s ups and downs, because through them your mind remains confident and at peace with God. On the other hand, when life’s fleeting changes have the ability to ruffle your mind into a frenzy, even the most elaborate physical comforts won’t make you any happier for very long. Pastoring a larger church is not always the answer. It's all about being where God wants you to be that makes the difference.
