Content In His Provision v10
1 Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
1 Timothy 6:8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have.
Matthew 6:25-26 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Content In Every Circumstance vv11-12
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Content In God’s Power v13

Content In The Well-Being of Others vv14-17
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
