| We Can Do All Things | Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, with that to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. | (Philippians 4:11-13) |
Ungodly humans often gage their success on how much wealth and worth they acquire. But, Christians know that worldly gain is temporary and the value of following Christ's teachings is permanent into all eternity. Christians also realize that Our Father will supply basic needs, however, they may experience many losses while on earth because they are destined to serve others, just as Christ was a servant while on earth. So, as Christians, we can expect times of lost and times of gain throughout a lifetime on earth; realizing that true freedom and true gain is found in being content where God has place us. And when we put our full trust in the saving grace and strength of Christ, we can do all things.
