Philippians 4:11 (NKJV) Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.
Psalm 37:16 (HCSB) The little that the righteous man has is better than the abundance of many wicked people.
Hebrews 13:5 (NLT) Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
1 Timothy 6:6-9 (NKJV) 6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 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.
A contented man is the one who enjoys the scenery along the detours. [Draper's Book of Quotations for the Christian World.]
