Contentment Scriptures plus { more on money }

a particularly resourceful site

Christian PF {personal finance}

has shared these inspiriting scriptures on 

Contentment ~

Psalm 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Ecclesiastes 5:10
Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.

Matthew 6:31-33
“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Luke 3:14
Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages.”

Philippians 4:11-13
For I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous. In general and in particular I have learned the secret of eating well or going hungry of facing either plenty of poverty. I am ready for anything through the strength of the One who lives within me.
1 Thessalonians 4:11 
And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you…

1 Timothy 6:6
But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.

1 Timothy 6:7-10
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. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Hebrews 13:5
Keep your life free from the love of money, and be content with what you have.

James 4:1-3
What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

they also offer a Contentment eBook

"Enjoy the romance, the mystery and the menu of

Darien Gee’s ‘Friendship Bread’

as your next delectable summer read.  

It doesn’t disappoint!"

 

any great summer reads refreshing you ?

i've posted several great free book downloads ,

just scroll down from this post to grab them while they're

still available without cost...

as we've paused to refresh,

i realize i haven't even touched on country drives,

sunrises, sunsets, lightening shows,

the air after rain,

iced tea and gelati...

i'll have to save them for another Pink Saturday!

hoping your weekend is all you hoped for
