The secret of finding true contentment in every situation Philippians 4:10-22

Pause for thought

Our sufficiency is in Jesus Christ because in Him we enjoy peace regardless of the circumstances of life 4:11

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things. may have an abundance for every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8

Sometimes we may not have opportunity to give to those in need as we would wish. But we can always express our loving concern through prayer for those who like Paul find themselves in horrible circumstances. In this way although not in person the Philippians understood what it meant to be of one spirit with Paul 4:10

The fruit that abounds to their account 4:17 I believe when we give its not the gift itself but what the gift expresses that is rewarded its is an investment that will yield natural and spiritual fruit.

Two important things to remember, 1 we don’t give to get and 2 we should not wait until we have a surplus before we consider giving. Our giving must be accompanied by faith sacrificial giving blesses both receiver and giver and is an acceptable sacrifice that delights God 4:18

God will meet all our needs out of His boundless resource not because we are givers but because He is the God of all grace! 4:19

Memory verse
