Be Content

But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.  For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.  If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.

1 Timothy 6:6-8

Full On Joy

I will bless the Lord who has counseled me;

Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

I have set the Lord continually before me;

Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;

My flesh will dwell securely.

For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol;

Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

You will make known to me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Psalm 16:7-11

Do Your Best

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15

God Stands With You

With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the Lord;

And in the midst of many I will praise Him. 

For He stands at the right hand of the needy,

To save him from those who judge his soul. 

Psalms 109:30-31.

Encourage Each Other

But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called Today, so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Hebrews 3:13

God Gives Good Gifts

Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion will he?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him? 

Luke 11:11-13
