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.

Philippians 4

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. v12-13

I am reminded of Paul's words here also:

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Of course, God is also is the author and creator of all things:

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Psalms 24:1-2

and, God conquered the grave as posted here.  God is all we need. He is able.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are indeed able and able beyond my needs and beyond my comprehension.  You are great and Your love and compassion is both wide and deep, and again beyond my comprehension.  You suffered and died for me, knowing everything about me, including my sin.  I am not worth such love and blessing.  I am weak, selfish, and lazy.  Please forgive me Jesus!  Help me overcome my sin, turn away from it and towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength.  Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin.  Help me lean on You for all of my needs and to be content regardless of my circumstances.  Please heal and cure Lisa of this cancer.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
