Philippians 4:11

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. (Philippians 4:11 NIV)

Yesterday our small group studied this scripture.  Paul wrote that he had learned to be content in whatever situation he was in.   We walked through his life a little bit as realized he had some amazingly high highs and really low lows. If he can eat with the rich in their mansions one day and then be beaten and thrown in jail the next - THAT is being content in ever circumstance.  We don't have those kind of extremes, and boy we act pretty entitled when we have "a bad day"!   Let us learn - like Paul- to be content!   It's not about you!!!
