The Root of Contentment
Commentators like John Calvin explain that the root of covetousness is distrust. The command to be content is therefore directly tied to the promise that follows. True contentment isn't just about managing desires; it's about cultivating a deep faith in God's providence, knowing He will never leave or forsake His people. This trust quiets the anxious heart that chases after wealth for security.
