Philippians 4:11-13 NKJV
[11] Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: [12] I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer needs.
[13] For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
Too often, verse 13 is read on its own. But in context, Paul is talking about contentment, not unlimited success. Writing from prison, he reveals the secret of enduring every season: Christ is our strength.
Whether in abundance or in need, victory or hardship, Christ gives us the strength to remain faithful.
Our confidence is not in our circumstances, but in Christ.
