Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 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. Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cæsar's household. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

In a time where life’s challenges are greater than ever before, adversity is inevitable, and contentment is far from us, this devotional promotes a biblical point of view of a “Yes We Can” mentality. This devotional written by Tyrone Crawford promotes a message of hope, bringing people together as one, and being content in who Christ called us to be.
When it comes to this subject of kingdom stewardship, many of us miss the point. But Tony Evans reminds us that it starts with understanding ownership. God doesn’t take us to court for theft when we act as owners over what He’s given us to manage. But we do lose out on the multiplicity of rewards, blessings and continued favor that come from living wisely as a kingdom steward.
Singleness is a gift. Jesus and the Apostle Paul both refer to it as a gift. It is a season to experience a sacred journey with God, one that is filled with serving and loving Jesus.
When life all around us is turning into a whirlwind of confusion, our hearts may get caught into yearning for how things used to be, or for the moment this will come to an end. Jesus has brought into our hearts with Himself everything we need. It is time for us to lift up our eyes and discover that having Him as the content of our lives brings true contentment.
