Some people suffer from a condition known as Restless Leg Syndrome. It is an uncontrollable urge to move one’s legs. It can be very troubling, especially at night when one is trying to sleep. Many more people suffer from a Restless Soul. They believe they need something else or someone else or that they need to be somewhere else or be doing something else. No matter what they do, they cannot remain content. While RLS is generally a physical problem, a restless soul is a spiritual problem. St. Augustine wrote, “Our souls are restless until we find our rest in Thee.” But, even when we have come to God, placed our faith in Him decided to walk with Him, we sometimes struggle with contentment. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians he wrote, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” Wow. Whether he was poor and in prison or fully funded and on the road, Paul was content. His contentment was not based on his circumstances; it was rooted in Christ. Some religions and/or philosophies teach that the path to contentment is the negation of desire. That is not the way of Christianity. Some of our desires should be negated but many of them are simply misplaced. To be human is to have desires. The Scripture guides us toward correct desires and teaches us how to find contentment even when those desires are not fully met. More on that in the conclusion to the letter to the Philippians.
