Godliness with Contentment

1Tim 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

A very wealthy man was asked as to how much was enough. His reply? "Just a little more." Those who have contentment are richer than the richest. For while contentment and satisfaction may be the goal of the striving for gain, the only one who will achieve that goal are those who learn contentment.

And indeed contentment conversely reinforces godliness. For ambition, envy and striving for gain can be so distractive, not to mention destructive to relationships. But the content can have a "gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1Peter 3:4
