Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
Philippians 4.11-12 NLT
How content are you? Paul says he had learned to be content with almost nothing or with everything. Feast or famine, are we content? How did Paul accomplish that attitude? I think he learned to trust God. He also learned gratitude with humility. If we know that God is in control and He doesn't owe us anything. we can be content. I have to watch closely my prayer life to keep check on my attitude, so that I ask but not demand what God has provided. So trust Him, be content and serve Him as a Christ follower should
