"Keep your lives free from the love of money and
be content with what you have, because God has
said—Never will I leave you; never will I forsake
you." Hebrews 13:5

The believing Hebrews had been plundered of all they
had in this world, Heb. 10:34, when the apostle gave
forth this royal command; and yet the apostle requires
them to be content. It is as much the duty of a Christian
to be content when he has nothing, as when all the world
smiles upon him.

Christians are soldiers, strangers, travelers, pilgrims;
and therefore it concerns them to make do with little things,
yes, with anything in this world.

Nature is content with a little, grace with less; though nothing
will satisfy those men's hearts, whose lusts are their masters.

The Israelites had no mirthful clothes, nor no new clothes
in their wilderness condition; but God made their old clothes
to be all clothes to them, and that was enough.

Jacob did not ask God for dainties or ornaments—but for food
and clothing. Gen. 28:20, "Then Jacob made a vow, saying,
If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey
I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear,
then shall the Lord be my God."
