Meditate on These Things

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are atrue, whatever things are bnoble, whatever things are cjust, dwhatever things are pure, whatever things are elovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.  
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and athe God of peace will be with you.  

Philippian Generosity

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last ayour care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.  
11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, ato be content:  
12 aI know how to1 be abased, and I know how to2 abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  
13 I can do all things athrough Christ who strengthens me.  
14 Nevertheless you have done well that ayou shared in my distress.

What Does Philippians 4:10 Mean?



Philippians 4:10-12

Frustration and bitterness were not Paul's companions. He did not make what he considered to be his needs absolutes in order to determine his sense of well-being. By faith, he believed that God was watching over his life and would provide.

Paul followed the example of Jesus Christ, and this is the example that we too are to follow. We are to learn to be angry and not sin. We are to learn not to make frustration, bitterness, and hostility regular parts of our lives.
