Contentment

Psalms 23:1 "The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want"

Phillipians 4:11-13 " I have learned in whatever state I am to be content"

I Timothy 6:6-9 "Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. Having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition."
Summarizing; I shall not want no matter what state I am in as there is great gain in contentment, as I trust my Father in Heaven to have my best interests at heart.

Although the lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life need to be dealt with on a daily basis, by allowing scriptures and the Ruach (Holy Spirit) to be a more significant part of our lives, we can walk out our faith in a manner worthy of His calling.
