In his letter to the church at Phillipi, Paul the apostle said he had to learn how to be content in whatsoever state he was in. It is only through a learning process that we can arrive at that kind of contentment as well. We don’t get to choose how life will unfold. No matter how proactive and how vigilant you try to be, sometimes life will deal you what we call a bad hand. And sometimes, God will allow you to endure hardship for a season. But we can overcome all these things--if we allow Christ to be the source of our strength. Duration 14:53
