Don’t be controlled by love for money. Be happy with what you have. God has said,“ I will never leave you. I will never desert you.”( Deuteronomy 31:6)

If we have food and clothing, we will be happy with that.

Training the body has some value. But being godly has value in every way. It promises help for the life you are now living and the life to come.

It is better to have a little and do right than to have a lot and be unfair.

I’m not saying this because I need anything. I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me.I know what it’s like not to have what I need. I also know what it’s like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough or not enough.I can do all this by the power of Christ. He gives me strength.

For me, life finds all its meaning in Christ. Death also has its benefits.

But put God’s kingdom first. Then those other things will also be given to you.“ Little flock, do not be afraid. Your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

People who are ungodly run after all those things. Your Father who is in heaven knows that you need them.But put God’s kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all those things will also be given to you.

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. He appointed them to be saved in keeping with his purpose.

It is better to have respect for the Lord and have little than to be rich and have trouble.

Those who do what is right may have very little. But it’s better than the wealth of many sinners.

And that’s not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer. We know that our suffering gives us the strength to go on.The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope.And hope will never bring us shame. That’s because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. This happened through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Then some soldiers asked him,“ And what should we do?” John replied,“ Don’t force people to give you money. Don’t bring false charges against people. Be happy with your pay.”

The Lord God is like the sun that gives us light. He is like a shield that keeps us safe. The Lord blesses us with favor and honor. He doesn’t hold back anything good from those whose lives are without blame.

Our troubles are small. They last only for a short time. But they are earning for us a glory that will last forever. It is greater than all our troubles.So we don’t spend all our time looking at what we can see. Instead, we look at what we can’t see. That’s because what can be seen lasts only a short time. But what can’t be seen will last forever.We know that the earthly tent we live in will be destroyed. But we have a building made by God. It is a house in heaven that lasts forever. Human hands did not build it.

With me are riches and honor. With me are lasting wealth and success.My fruit is better than fine gold. My gifts are better than the finest silver.I walk in ways that are honest. I take paths that are right.I leave riches to those who love me. I give them more than they have room for.

Moses agreed to stay with the man. And the man gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses to be his wife.

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom. Blessed is the one who gains understanding.Wisdom pays better than silver does. She earns more than gold does.She is worth more than rubies. Nothing you want can compare with her.Long life is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.Her ways are pleasant ways. All her paths lead to peace.She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her. Those who hold her close will be blessed.
