In today’s Scripture, Paul responds to the church in Philippi’s generosity toward him. As he reflects on receiving a gift from them, he shares his own perspective on contentment.
After Paul receives their care and concern, he makes a bold statement of trust, declaring that God will provide what he needs, no matter what. Paul’s secret is that in every season, Jesus is enough.
Are there areas in your life where you don’t feel like you have what you need? Pause and pray, letting God know your honest concerns. Then, take five minutes and listen to this song that comes straight from today’s passage. Let the words of Scripture have your full attention.
Practice: Write out your own statement of trust in God. What have you experienced in good seasons and hard ones about what it means to be content?
