When we are faced with a difficult goal, task, or circumstance in life, we tend to whip out this truth and proclaim it over whatever we are going through! But is that what Paul really meant when we wrote this inspired wisdom to the Philippians? Not \u2026exactly. And that\u2019s why this teaching is so relevant and important. Joel explains that when we take a verse out of context, we can misunderstand what God intended this piece of wisdom to mean and instruct.<\/p>\n<p>This verse is not meant to guarantee we are able to do everything we want to do or will anything we wish to happen. Our lives are meant to run in step with God\u2019s will, not ours. This verse <em>actually<\/em> provides us the wisdom and strength to endure hard times and difficult situations that do <em>not<\/em> make sense to us. Things that are <em>not<\/em> going our way. It reminds us to rely on His strength. Paul discovered the secret to contentment, \u201cthe power to process and cope with all things,\u201d Joel teaches.<\/p>\n<p>Dive into the deep wisdom of this verse as Joel explains the power we have available to us in this world through Jesus, and reminds us Who we are living for.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11px;\"><em>Photo Courtesy: Proverbs 31 Ministries<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"bg-csgray-100 global-author-bio p-7 my-5 overflow-hidden text-base\">\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.swncdn.com\/media\/200w\/via\/images\/2023\/11\/01\/33363\/33363-joel_source_file.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.swncdn.com\/via\/images\/2023\/11\/01\/33363\/33363-joel_source_file.jpg\" alt=\"Joel M\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii fr-fil\" style=\"width: 200px;\"\/><\/source><\/picture>Joel Muddamalle Ph.D.<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0is the director of theology and research at Proverbs 31 Ministries with Lysa TerKeurst and the theologian in residence for Haven Place Ministries.
