What it means
This is not a promise of achievement but of endurance. Paul has learned to be content in every circumstance, and the strength for that comes from Christ.
Paul thanks the Philippians for a gift while assuring them he has learned the secret of contentment in every situation. He writes from prison.
Where it addresses you
You are facing something beyond your own resources.
Your circumstances have changed sharply, for better or worse.
Found in Encouragement, Courage & Calling, Strength, Christ.
