1 Timothy 6:7-8
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.

Godliness with contentment is great wealth. (1 Timothy 6:6) So, what does it take for us to be content? Jesus and Paul remind us that as long as we have food and clothing, we should be content. (Matthew 6:24-25; Luke 12:23) When our desires get out of that channel of need and when covetous greed takes over, our lives go off the rails and we replace God with a repacious desire for what becomes our idol.
