Wednesday
Philippians 4:10-20
Paul's secret to contentment wasn't positive thinking or self-help strategies—it was Christ's strength flowing through him. Notice Paul had experienced both plenty and want, yet found contentment in both. This isn't passive resignation but active trust in God's provision. The Philippian church's generosity blessed Paul, but he desired something more for them: "that more be credited to your account." God doesn't need our resources, but He invites us into the joy of partnership with His work. When we give sacrificially, we're not impoverishing ourselves—we're investing in eternal dividends. What would change if you truly believed God would "meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory"? Your open-handed generosity today becomes tomorrow's spiritual treasure.
