Be Content

C - Crave not the things of this world, that money can buy, rather set your heart upon God's riches. For when one dies they shall carry nothing away. Riches are not for ever: Pro. 27:24

O - Overshadowing clouds of darkness and evil can seep into our heart and bring troubles. Paul said, "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;" 1 Timothy 6: 17

N - Never let us turn our hearts from God our maker, who supplies all  our needs. ..."if riches increase, set not your heart upon them." Psalm 62:10 Let not the rich man glory in his riches: Jeremiah 9: 23

T - Trust not in riches. One that trusts in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. Proverbs 11:28 Take hold of the life which is life indeed.  Be rich in good works.

E - Enjoy God's blessings and do not be haughty.  He gives us everything we enjoy. God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19 Live the good life and fear God: By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life. Pro. 22:4 

N - Never put your confidence in riches and money. Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivers from death. Proverbs 11:4 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. mark 4 19

T - Turn not your heart from the Living God. Do His will, then you will be rich beyond compare. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1
