Contemplative Bible Reading

Philippians 4:12-13 (New Living Translation)

12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Paul has learned how to live in any situation. He has learned the secret of contentment. What is the secret?

Paul doesn’t keep the secret to himself for long. Paul lives through Christ. Everything he does, everywhere he is, everyone he is with – everything is through Christ.
