Description

Contentment is one of the most misunderstood yet deeply desired qualities in life. We often hear Paul’s words in Philippians 4:13 —“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”—and mistake them for a motivational slogan or spiritual pep talk. But Paul’s understanding of contentment and strength is far richer. Writing from prison, he expresses gratitude not for what he has received, but for what generosity is producing in others. His contentment is not rooted in self-sufficiency or independence, but in a radical dependence on Christ.
