“I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:12-13 (NASB)
Each one of us walks this life encountering different circumstances, don't we? Our circumstances can change quickly and we might go from low to high and then low again before we are ready for a change. But our promise today is that we can be ready if we are willing to learn the secret of contentment in any and all circumstances. We may be experiencing prosperity but we don't put our trust in it for we know it is only temporary. We may be stretched with challenges of meeting our daily responsibilities without fear or anxiety because we know that too is temporary. Why? How can we be content in both humble means and in prosperity? Because we know this: like the Apostle Paul, we actually can make it through all things, all circumstances, face all comers, all challenges, and do all things we are called to do IF we do them with faith through Him who will give us the strength He promises to give us.
