It may sound cliche, but in view of the history of the world a human life is truly a vapor. Even more so in light of eternity.

To be content in all situations is only possible when you have fully and completely given up your life to Christ. When EVERYTHING that is not Christ is counted to have no value. When Christ is the only thing that has any value to you. Only then will you find yourself content in all situations. For you will have the one thing that you find valuable and will want nothing else. We may tell ourselves that "Yes Christ is the only valueable thing," but if we are not expierencing that contentment that Paul knew then we decieve ourselves.
