Just got into some Bible reading with mama and I found something interesting. We all know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but it had us look at the verses before that.
Philippians 4:10-13
“But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Interesting that I never noticed in a sense...it was talking about Paul being able to handle all things. Not just being able to do something, but to like...be content in all stages. Be the same in all stages. I notice I as a person have a tendency to rely way too much on the circumstances to change my mood/attitude so yeah...sobering but also hopeful.
