I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13

Pauls life, like most people’s lives, has had its share of ups and downs. He had times of plenty, dining on fine food and sleeping in a warm bed. And he has had times of great want, going to sleep hungry and without having a bed at all or even a blanket to keep him warm and dry.

One must learn to be content in good times without forgetting that they are a gift from God, and one learns to be content in bad times without forgetting that the Lord is still with you.

But here’s the real secret: our strength is not our own. Paul says he can do all this through the one who strengthens him.
This means not only being content when times are tough, but also being grateful when times are good. Both require a kind of strength, and this comes from Christ alone.
