Some versions of this verse say, The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. It means the same thing as being content with what the lord provides. Contentment is not the state of your accounts; it is a state of heart. Contentment is found in making the most of the least. That is what the psalmist was saying. But most people think, the more I have the more content I'll be. But are you willing to give up heavenly rewards for earthly rewards. The way I look at it is by a earthly example. Do you want to be rich with heavenly blessing for eternity or be a pauper for eternity. So despite what adverse circumstances you may be facing, you can have joy and contentment in the midst of a troubled world by thinking on the rewards of heaven.
