Psalm 37:16–19

"It is better to be godly and have little
than to be evil and rich.
For the strength of the wicked will be shattered,
but the LORD takes care of the godly.

Day by day the LORD takes care of the innocent,
and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever.
They will not be disgraced in hard times;
even in famine they will have more than enough."

 

Here are strong words of assurance that God will take care of those who trust him. "They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough." During these tough times, trust in the God who made these promises. You will survive; even more, you will have "more than enough." Note that this is in the context of "It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich." The godly are content with "little," so it may not take much to have "more than enough."
