Philippians 4:12
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.
Reflection
This verse says that it is possible to discover contentment in any situation. If a person is well fed they can be content. If a person is hungry they can be content. Contentment and satisfaction is not based on those things. Contentment is far more than having a few material things. Contentment is the mentality and attitude that a person gets up with every morning. Contentment is the realization that everything will be all right even if nothing goes right for us.
Does your attitude and mentality help you to develop and maintain a state of contentment?
