SPEAKER_00: You may have heard Philippians 4.13 quoted before.
SPEAKER_00: It says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
SPEAKER_00: Oftentimes, we'll take this first and use it to pump ourselves up for whatever we want to accomplish.
SPEAKER_00: But today, we're going to read a few verses that come before to get some important context.
SPEAKER_00: Paul writes, I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
SPEAKER_00: I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
SPEAKER_00: 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.
SPEAKER_00: I can do all of this through him who gives me strength.
SPEAKER_00: Today, we're going to spend time in prayer asking God to help us learn contentment.
SPEAKER_00: First, take a moment to thank God that his strength is steady in every season.
SPEAKER_00: Praise him that his provision is not dependent on your circumstances.
SPEAKER_00: Bring that before him.
SPEAKER_00: Trusting that he is enough no matter what the season holds.
