"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 things through Him who strengthens me." -Philippians 4:12-13 (NASB)
We all learn how to get along in life, whether our means are humble or abundant. Sometimes we use these means searching for answers to try to make our lives better. We search for the "secret" or "easy" fix to being fulfilled, but we have already been given the "secret" key to unlocking happiness and fulfillment in any circumstance.
Paul revealed the "secret" in his letter to the Philippians (4:12-13). When living through times of having less and times of having more, the answer to being filled is the same. The answer is strength, love, and salvation from God through His Son, Jesus Christ. If we have Jesus in our lives and on our side, then it doesn't matter what our means are or what situation we are facing, we have all we need to be filled and content!
If you have Jesus, then you hold the secret to surviving and doing all things! Thank God for sharing His Son to save us and His continual love for us!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the strength that You give me so that I can face all things. Thank You for sustaining me in lean times and always providing for me. Help me to remember to share Your strength and love with those around me so that they, too, can be sustained and made prosperous in You and for You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
