I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

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.
