The Secret of Contentment: Philippians 4:10-20

I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

Paul smiled as he dictated. Epaphroditus had arrived from Philippi carrying their gift. After all these months—provision had come.

At last. Not a rebuke but a rejoicing. You renewed your concern. You had always been concerned—Paul knew that. The opportunity had been lacking, not the love.

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
