Be content with such things as ye have, Hebrews 13:5. rejoicing (of eternity.) Romans 12:12.

A true believer being content, is not much concerned about temporal things. Perhaps he is more afraid of worldly prosperity, goods, and money, than of calamities and losses; which sometimes disturb him less than the former. He knows that the hand of God, who supplies him alone, having the whole world and all its treasures at his disposal, can easily command another mine if one fails. The Lord is his portion, therefore, says his soul, will I hope in him. Lamentations 3:24.

My soul forsakes her vain delight,
And bids the world farewell;
Base as the dirt beneath my feet,
And mischievous as hell.

There’s nothing round this spacious earth
That suits my large desire,
To boundless joy and solid mirth
My nobler thoughts aspire.

Where pleasure rolls its living flood.
From sin and dross refined,
Still springing from the throne of God,
And fit to cheer the mind.

Had I the pinions of a dove,
I’d climb the heavenly road,
There sits my Saviour dressed in love,
And there my smiling God.
