Philippians 4:10-13
10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Reflection
A disciple is content. Our society and our economy is driven by a culture that we always need something bigger and better. Disciples acknowledge that their strength comes from God through whom they can do all things regardless of how little or how much they have. How can adopting the attitude of Paul, which is that God provides all we need, help us break the pull of culture and be content with what God has given us? Take time now to thank God for all that He has given you.
