The Apostle Paul says, “I can…through Christ.” This is dynamic contentment; this is dynamic Christian life. This is victory over every temptation; grace for every trouble; strength for every task.
What are “all things?” Jump off church roof? Stop speeding car? Play piano? No. It means all the things Paul mentioned in the previous verse.
Philippians 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Jesus gives power to face life’s adversities. He gives power to enjoy contentment regardless of circumstances, Phil. 4:6-7.
A poor farmer worked hard and had nothing. When he died his property was found to be sitting on a sea of oil. He had a treasure he had never tapped into. Are you content? Are you saved? Are you tapping the well of God’s power?
