1 Timothy 6:6-10 But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
Hebrews 13:5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
"Godliness with contentment is great gain." Are you content with what God has given you? The reason we are to be content is that Jesus "will never leave you nor forsake you."
What does contentment have to do with Jesus being with us? If we trust Jesus with everything, we begin to understand that He IS everything. We don't need anything but Jesus. He has promised to take care of us, and He will give us everything we need. If we have Jesus, we can be content, because in Jesus, God has given us everything.
