There are seasons when everything feels full—your heart, your home, your pockets.
And then, there are seasons that feel dry and bare.
Still, Paul reminds us:
“I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.”
— Philippians 4:11 (KJV)
That contentment didn’t come from perfection—it came from perspective.
Paul had been shipwrecked, beaten, left for dead, and imprisoned… yet he could say he was content. Why? Because he knew the Source was never lacking.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
— Philippians 4:13 (KJV)
Gratitude today is found not in having more, but in seeing how God provides exactly what we need.
Not always what we want, but what we need.
Sometimes, His provision looks like:
A friend showing up at the right time Peace in the middle of confusion A verse you needed to read Enough for today Hope for tomorrow.
Prompt: When has God provided even when you felt like you had nothing?
Write it down. Reflect. Thank Him for it again.
