My friend Rev. Mudd has a new post on how to balance Godly ambition and grateful contentment. Let me encourage you to click over to it here and offer an encouraging comment.
One way I think the twin ideas of ambition and contentment can be applied is in our faith and work. We should be ambitious in our good work for the glory of God.
