“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:11-13 Good day? Bad day? We all have them. Sometimes we wake up and already know what kind of day we are going to have. Paul’s emphasis in these verses is on contentment. I’m sure Paul had good days and bad days too, but he made a commitment to accept each day for what it was, because he was confident that God would give him the strength that he needs for that day. What if we lived this way? Instead of listing all of the things that didn’t go as planned today or that you're worried might not go as planned, remember contentment and recognize that God has you where you are, at this time in your life for a reason.
