“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.” – Philippians 4:11-13 (ESV)
When we’re honest with ourselves, do we truly feel contentment in our lives? The more we lay our trust in the hands of our Heavenly Father to provide for our fundamental needs, and place our efforts in following His will for our lives, the closer we become to knowing true peace in our hearts.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
He always provides for us. Why do we fight it? Why do we try to do it on our own? Great encouragement Phil!
Phil,
We will know true peace when we seek Him first, He is our protector, our provider, our Savior, Jesus is all we need and when we discover that we discover the peace that passes understanding.
Blessings to you Phil.
Phil, those verses have been taped to my bathroom mirror for 8 years. I plan on leaving them there until I am living it out every single day…I think they will be there the rest of my life.
