"Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all thing through Him who strengthens me." -Philippians 4:11-13 (NASB)
We have all experienced ups and downs. For some people, the Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Year's holidays can be especially difficult. No matter what we have or are dealing with, God is there to help us through it all!
In Philippians, Paul was in prison and writing to acknowledge support that he had received. Paul maintains his faith and contentment. While it may be easy for us to want more, we need to remember that God will provide for what we need. There may be times of plenty and times of little, but through it all, God is there for us. Whether we are going hungry or living in prosperity, we can call on and rely on God for guidance, wisdom, and strength!
Through it all, be content with God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being there for me. Thank You for bringing me through humble times and for allowing me to experience times of prosperity. Please continue to guide my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
