Jonathan White from Costa Rica (do not mention name) was talking to me about getting a check every month verses every year or quarter.
He said to me that when the check comes in, you are living high on the hog.
You look at your account and exclaim “WE’VE GOT MONEY.”
But then a month later, two months later. . .
you feel broke and destitute.
Are content with the timing of God’s provision, with the tempo of God’s provision people of God’s provision?
Do you know how to be abased in your emotional distress?
Do you know how to abound in the awesome times of your life?
v. 13 on the heels of this awesome passage about God’s provision and finding contentment with it, Paul adds “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
This verse is not just a basketball shoe quote, but a way for contentment.
The avenue through which I must travel for contentment is Christ’s strength.
It is total faith in God’s provision that provides me with the ability to be content in whatever state I find myself.
