Focus on being content
with God’s daily provisions.
Read the following verses.
Think and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
1
Timothy 6:6-8
Godliness with contentment is great gain. 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.
Ecclesiastes 5:10
Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is
never satisfied with his income.
Proverbs 30:8-9
Give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my
needs! For if I grow rich, I may become content without God. And if I am
too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.
Matthew 6:9-11
This is how you should pray: “’Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your
name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread…”
Philippians 4:11-13
I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it
is to be in need, & I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the
secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or
hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
You are only poor when you
want more than you have.
The trouble with most
people is their earning capacity
doesn’t match their
yearning capacity.
The most expensive vehicle
to operate, per mile,
is the
shopping cart.

Tithing Story From An 89-Year-Old Widow
A friend
e-mailed about his 89-year-old mother. She had called him on the phone
to confess she hadn't been tithing because she was on a fixed
income--but she'd decided that she was going to start faithfully tithing
again. Within a few days, she got a call from her pastor asking her to
go on a church prayer retreat with all the expenses paid by the church.
The next day, she went to her bank to get some money and the bank teller
told her, “Don’t withdraw any money, since your 90th birthday is coming
up, our bank is going to give you a present of $100 in cash!" The
following day, she got a letter from a community group to let her know
she had been chosen to receive a $500 grant to help pay her utility
bills. After she began tithing again, she was amazed at the unexpected
provisions she received from the LORD.
