In a world that’s always trying to sell you “more,” God offers …more contentment.
“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:13
Simple truth, right? With God’s help, there is nothing you can’t do or achieve. But what if the intention of this verse isn’t about conquering the next big thing, but is more about being content right where you are?
This “I can do everything” verse is in a paragraph about being content in every circumstance. The context is that we are rarely content. When we have little, we crave more. When we have much, it isn’t enough.
That’s when the wisdom and beauty of this verse hits home. It is a declaration and prayer “God, give me strength to be content in every situation.” You can do everything through Him who gives you strength…(including being content in every circumstance).
