Contentment

Lean on God

  • Philippians 4:11-13
    11  I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
    12  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
    13  I can do everything through him who gives me strength.


Be honest, stop arguing, and be content

  • James 4:1-3
    1  What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
    2  You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God.
    3  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
