00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.800
<v SPEAKER_00>You may have heard Philippians 4.13 quoted before.

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.240
<v SPEAKER_00>It says, I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:21.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Oftentimes, we'll take this verse and use it to pump ourselves up for whatever we want to accomplish.

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:28.960
<v SPEAKER_00>But today, we're going to read a few verses that come before to get some important context.

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Paul writes, I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances.

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.880
<v SPEAKER_00>I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:52.960
<v 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 point.

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.560
<v SPEAKER_00>I do all this through him who gives me strength.

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:08.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Today we're going to spend some time in prayer, asking God to help us learn contentment.

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:15.439
<v SPEAKER_00>First, take a moment to thank God that his strength is steady in every season.

00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Bring that before him.

00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Trusting that he is enough no matter what the season holds.
