The fear of the LORD leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble
But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
When God, your God, ushers you into the land he promised through your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give you, you're going to walk into large, bustling cities you didn't build, well-furnished houses you didn't buy, come upon wells you didn't dig, vineyards and olive orchards you didn't plant. When you take it all in and settle down, pleased and content, make sure you don't forget how you got there—God brought you out of slavery in Egypt.
[Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment].
If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.
Proverbs 19:23 1 Timothy 6:6 Deuteronomy 6:10 Psalm 92:14 Job 36:11
Contentment is not getting what we want but being satisfied with what we have.
