Philippians 4:10-13
Philippians 4:10-13
I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 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. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Reflection
As we focus on the entire passage from Philippians
let’s take a look at a way of life that will be helpful in bringing each of us to a state of contentment. What are some practices that will help us to be content?
Let me list a few:
· Trust God completely (depending on the strength of Jesus)
· Saving money consistently.
· Recognizing that God owns all that we have.
Embrace our God-given mission and work to
fulfill it.
· Commit to lifelong generosity.
If we live in this way we will begin to understand what Paul means when he says that in all situations he has found contentment.
