67+ Bible Verses about Contentment: To Be Happy And Satisfy

This verse suggests that a reverence for God can lead to a sense of contentment and peace, even in the face of life’s challenges.

“Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.”

These verses emphasize the value of righteousness and contentment over the wealth of the wicked, indicating that the righteous find fulfillment in their relationship with the Lord.

“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”

And on that account, I am not talking about any of my requirements because I have come to know about one thing no matter what circumstances I am in, I should be satisfied and grateful. 

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

And on that account, you should lead your life by staying away from the affection for the worldly riches, and be satisfied with all the things that you own, and this is because of the fact that the almighty Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being of all the universe, has declared that he will never abandon you in your times of need, and always look out for you. 

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.”

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.”

And even then, if the brightness in you is tenebrous, how magnificent is the darkness. 

“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”

“For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.”

“But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.”

And on that account, you will discover that there exists a lot of benefit in devotion and sanctity along with gratification, and this is because we bore nothing with ourselves when we stepped into this earth, nor can we take anything with ourselves when we leave this earth. However, if we have our daily meals and garments, it is with these things that we will be satisfied. 

“Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.”

And, however, all the people who dream of having all the world’s riches in their possession often fall prey to temptation; they fall prey to evil traps and several futile and dangerous impulses that lure people into their ruination and devastation. And this is because of the fact that wealth is the core of all types of wickedness and sinful acts. Due to such enticement, many people have lost their way to faith and belief, and they have brought a great deal of pain and suffering on themselves.

Don’t you think that life has much more to offer than just food for consumption or that your body has a greater purpose than being decorated with fancy clothes?
