"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances" (Philippians 4:11).
If you're trying to obtain peace in your current situation, our text for today should serve as a tremendous help. We discover that Paul is writing to the church at Philippi to express his thanks for the gifts they sent to him. However, in spite of their generosity, he takes time to inform them that although he appreciates their gifts, he's not ultimately dependent upon them. He can make this declaration because he understands that his ultimate dependence is on God through Jesus Christ.
