Contentment as Part Of Success

It's hard to be content in today's society. We are bombarded by advertising that says
that we need that new car or toy or sex, etc make us fulfilled or content. I've been
blessed enough to know that money, cars, toys etc., will not make us happy. God is
the only thing that can make us happy and content. If You have God in your life and
put him #1, he let's you enjoy the fruits of your success. Only God can us true lasting
contentment. You can be content with much or little...where your focus lies is the key.

A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.
Proverbs 14:30 (NKJV)

All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a
continual feast. Proverbs 15:15 (NKJV)

Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice.
Proverbs 16:8 (NKJV)

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with
strife. Proverbs 17:1 (NKJV)

A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV)

Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD
all the day; Proverbs 23:17 (NKJV)

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping
for the wind. Ecclesiastes 6:9 (NKJV)

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He
Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV)

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I
know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have
learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:11-13 (NKJV)

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is
certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
1 Timothy 6:6-8 (NKJV)
