CONTENTMENT IS A GIFT FROM GOD

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

I Timothy 6:6

A sound heart is the life of the flesh:

but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Proverbs 14:30

 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove 

thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: 

and, behold, this also is vanity.

I said of laughter, It is mad: 

and of mirth, What doeth it?

I sought in mine heart to give myself unto 

wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; 

and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what 

was that good for the sons of men, which they 

should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

I made me great works; I builded me 

houses; I planted me vineyards:

I made me gardens and orchards, 

and I planted trees in them of all kind 

of fruits: I made me pools of water, to water 

therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

I got me servants and maidens, and had 

servants born in my house; also I had great 

possessions of great and small cattle above 

all that were in Jerusalem before me:

I gathered me also silver and gold, and 

the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: 

I gat me men singers and women singers, 

and the delights of the sons of men, as musical 

instruments, and that of all sorts.

So I was great, and increased more than all that 

were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom 

remained with me.  And whatsoever mine eyes desired 

I kept not from them, I withheld not my 

heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in 

all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

Then I looked on all the works that my hands 

had wrought, and on the labour that I had 

laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity 

and vexation of spirit, and there was no 

profit under the son.  And I turned myself to behold 

wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what 

can the man do that cometh after the king? even 

that which hath been already done. Then I saw that 

wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the 

fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also

that one event happeneth to them all.

Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth 

to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; 

and why was I then more wise? Then I said in 

my heart, that this also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes

2:1-15
