Sinclair Ferguson writes, Christian contentment is the direct fruit of having no higher ambition than to belong to the Lord and to be totally at His disposal in the place He appoints, at the time He chooses, with the provision He is pleased to make.

Sinclair Ferguson emphasizes that true Christian contentment stems from a singular devotion to the Lord. When individuals prioritize their relationship with God above all else, they find peace and satisfaction in being wholly available to Him, regardless of their circumstances. This perspective shifts focus from personal ambitions to a greater purpose in serving the Lord.

In Randy Alcorn's "Seeing the Unseen," the idea of being at God's disposal highlights the beauty of trusting in His timing and provisions. Contentment is achieved when one embraces the places and moments designated by God, leading to a deeper understanding of fulfillment rooted in faith and reliance on divine guidance.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
