Contentment, not Apathy

I’m pretty content with my life right now. Singleness can obviously be a struggle, but it’s not one for me right now.
But ask me again tomorrow, because it’s definitely a day-by-day thing. Other than that, there’s nothing else in my life that I really want to change.
Hey, maybe I’m content. That’s a good thing, right? Definitely.
“But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.” – 1 Timothy 6:6, NASU
But am I really content? Or would I better describe myself as “apathetic?” Where’s the line?
Instead of being content in God alone, I’ve become apathetic with little thought of God.
Of course, God is very much present in my life, and I do continue to intentionally spend time with him through the Bible and prayer. But I’m putting Him in a box…how much do I think of him outside of those scheduled moments that I give to him?
Just something I’m pondering this week. Praying that God will renew my fire to know and follow Him.
