Content is the satisfaction of one's point in life, while complacent is being pleased. These two are different although they have similar meanings. They are different when it comes to a situation in our life. Complacency can even take the same value as laziness. The Word of God says to be content in whatever state that you are in. This is in Philippians chapter 4. I may be satisfied or content where I am now because I know there are greater levels for me to go in God, but that doesn't mean I am pleased or complacent with the situations that I am facing. If I become complacent how can I go higher to the next level. Being complacent can mean that I can allow everything to pass me by and never trying to accomplish goals in order to get to the next level. Sometimes you have to make a move in order for God to bring things to completion. I know that in my situation that it won't always be like this. I am content with it but I am not complacent with it because there is more for me. I just know that I know there is more for me. If there is something that I am unable to do and it is something that I need to learn, I need to go right ahead and take those steps to get well at it by learning the skill. Knowing how to do that skill will lead into greater things and measures that may very well take me far. It is imperative in our lives whether a follower of Christ or a follower of something else, that we are to be content because complaining doesn't get us anywhere. Trust me I should know and know it well, it makes you feel even worst about the situation. If you think positively and on other things, then you would be better off and not worry about your situation. What I try to do is just see myself better than what I am now and it definitely helps me. God is taking me through this season and there will be other seasons to go through. When you are following after Him don't think that you won't go through some things. You will go through because if Jesus went through during His days on earth who are you? Don't be complacent with your situation, but be content in your situation. Look to God who is your strength and if you don't know Him, get to know Him by speaking with others about Him who have a relationship with Him. It's crazy how I am content in my situation now and to do an honest self check on myself I think that I am too complacent or things in my would change or I would do something to change them. I am speaking of the things that I can change and not the things that I can't change. So remember, to just be content, but all the way make those steps to become better. Also be careful, how you do that way to get that way to success.
