Philippians 4
Day 7 of 7 · Financial Wisdom
I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
CONTEXT
Original word: ὑστέρησιν (hystérēsis) · a falling short, i.e. (specially), penury
REFLECTION

Lord, everything I have is from you. Teach me to use it well. Amen.
