Philippians 4:12-13 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. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
In times of plenty trouble is rare. We may prosper, but there’s danger of getting our eyes off Jesus. In times of plenty souls are saved and God blesses.
In times of poverty we discipline ourselves to tighten our belts. We may have pity parties and whine.
The Apostle Paul knew the secret of contentment in plenty or poverty. Joy doesn’t lie in our circumstances, it is wholly of God in Jesus our Lord.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengthene th me.”
