Part 3: Contentment

Paul says that he had “learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need” (4:12). That secret is stated in verse 13, “I can do all things in him who continually infuses me with strength” (literal rendering). The all-sufficient, indwelling christ was paul’s source of strength and contentment. Since christ cannot be taken from the believer, we can lean on him in every situation, no matter how trying.
