I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:12-13 NIV
We learn the most about ourselves in two situations. When we're under real pressure. When life hurts. In adversity.
And when we have success. When we win, we get that "A", that promotion, that big sale... because that's when our hearts get carried away with how good we are... we take all the credit and give none to God or others.
We forget to live generously.
And we want more.
More of whatever that good thing is.
More.
And we need to keep connected to Him who gives strength.
Lean in to God
Lean in to his community
