7 Scriptures on Contentment
What is contentment? Cambridge Dictionary describes it as “happiness and satisfaction, often because you have everything you need.”
Contentment is the best way to eliminate worry from our lives. The Bible is full of examples of how we are to be content and not let the cares of this life get to us.
One of the things I find helpful in ensuring I have everything I need is by creating a budget. Putting aside money for my necessities prevents me from asking, “Where is the money coming from?” And when unexpected emergencies arise, which they most certainly will, I pray for God’s guidance.
Here are 7 Scriptures on how to be content.
Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Seek the Kingdom of Godabove all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
