“Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”

– Phil 4:11-13

The expression of trust in Christ here is the picture of security and wholeness. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” is absolute trust in God. It is trust in God that frees us from needing to be in control. We can endure hardship and comfort both; whatever the circumstance we are trusting in Christ and can live in contentment.
