  1. You may have heard Philippians 4.13 quoted before.

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

  3. Oftentimes, we'll take this verse and use it to pump ourselves up for whatever we want to accomplish.

  4. But today, we're going to read a few verses that come before to get some important context.

  5. Paul writes, I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances.

  6. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

  7. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in point.

  8. I do all this through him who gives me strength.

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