The apostle Paul wrote, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I Jane learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether loving in plenty or in want" (Philippines 4:21-12 NIV). I love the last part: "whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." By the way, Paul wrote that while he was sorting in prison! Even in prison, Paul's contentment wasn't based on his circumstances.
