What does the Bible say about being content?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages believers to be content with what they have, emphasizing trust in God's provision.

In Hebrews 13:5-6, the Apostle urges believers to let their conduct be free from the love of money and to be content with what they have, for God promises never to leave or forsake us. This call to contentment goes beyond mere material possessions; it signifies a deep-seated trust in God's sovereignty and goodness, despite our circumstances. Likewise, Paul's letter in 1 Timothy 6:6-8 highlights that godliness with contentment is great gain, as we brought nothing into the world and can take nothing out. Thus, true contentment is found not in earthly things but in Christ, who sustains us.
