Ingredients of Happy Families: Contentment Hebrews 13:5

Having Not Enough Be objective (Prov 6:6–8) Consider the advantages (Prov 27:7) Consider you blessings (Acts 3:6; 2 Cor 6:10; 8:1–2; Prov 15:16–17; 17:1; Ecc 4:6) Cultivate trust & confidence in God (Job 1:21; Matt 10:29–31; 2 Cor 9:8; Eph 3:20; Phil 4:6–7)

Having More Than Enough Temptation (1 Tim 6:9–10; Matt 19:23–24) Don’t be conceited (1 Tim 6:17; cf. Luke 12:15-21; Jas 4:13-17) Trust the Supplier (1 Tim 6:17; cf. Psa 39:6; 62:10; Matt 6:19-21) Be rich in good works (1 Tim 6:18) Open a saving account in Heaven (1 Tim 6:19; cf. Luke 12:13–14; Matt 6:25)

Having Enough Yet Discontented Contentment is commanded (1 Tim 6:6–8; Heb 13:5; Luke 3:14; Phil 4:11–13) Ingratitude (Rom 1:21) Complaining (1 Cor 10:5–11) Covetousness (Col 3:5) Materialism (Col 3:1–2; 2 Tim 4:10; Titus 2:11–13)

Godliness w/ Contentment makes for happy families Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU" (Heb 13:5; Ecc 5:10; 1 Tim 6:8)
