You may have heard Philippians 4.13 quoted before.

It says, I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Oftentimes, we'll take this verse and use it to pump ourselves up for whatever we want to accomplish.
-
But today, we're going to read a few verses that come before to get some important context.
-
Paul writes, I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances.
-
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
-

-

Trusting that he is enough no matter what the season holds.
