David discovered one of the primary keys to contentment by finding ALL his fulfillment IN THE LORD ALONE.  [Ps. 16:5]  He didn’t need the comforts and luxuries of this world to satisfy him. Even hidden in a cave, running from King Saul, he had everything he really needed … the Lord’s presence.

Paul also discovered this truth. [Phil. 4:12,13]

The sons of Zadok were priests who maintained the integrity of the priesthood when others sought their own welfare. They also had this distinction … the Lord was their portion. He rewarded their devotion by giving HIMSELF to them. This is a type of the New Testament priesthood which we can all be a part. [1 Tim. 2:5]

As the songwriter said, “Take this whole world but give me Jesus.”
