APOSTOLMI 28:26-27

When it seems like everything is in chaos, it can be difficult to understand the purpose or see the good during difficulty. There is never a moment or encounter we face that God cannot turn around and use to our benefit and for His glory. He wastes nothing!

Philippians 4:12 reveals a profound truth: there is a “secret to learning contentment.” As Paul declares in the next verse, the secret is the strength Christ provides: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Just as a tree’s unseen root system gathers vital resources for the tree, the unseen part of contentment is being “rooted and built up in Christ” (Colossians 2:7). Contentment is not an elusive concept. Instead, it is a tangible reality within our reach through a relationship with Christ.
