  1. Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

    Philippians 4:11-13

  2. Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

    Hebrews 13:5

  3. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

    1 Timothy 6:6-8

  4. Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

    Psalms 23:1

  5. He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

    Ecclesiastes 5:10

  6. Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me; lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

    Proverbs 30:8-9

  7. “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

    Matthew 6:31-33

  8. He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”

  9. Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.

    Psalms 37:16

  10. Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, than great treasure with trouble.

    Proverbs 15:16

  11. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

    2 Corinthians 12:10

  12. Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
