Philippians 4: 11-13 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

In Philippians 4:10-20, Paul expresses his gratitude to the Philippians for their ongoing support and generosity, even during his imprisonment. He encourages them to remain steadfast in their faith and to rejoice at all times. In verse 19, he reassures them that God will supply all their needs according to His glorious riches.

Imagine being in Paul’s situation. He was imprisoned in a cell with terrible conditions and was unable to care for himself, yet he found peace in knowing that God would provide for him. Can you recall a time when you were in need and relied on God’s provision? How did that experience make you feel?

 It is a special grace to have an equal temper of mind always. And in a low state not to lose our comfort in God, nor distrust his providence, nor take any wrong course for our own supply.
