Contentment and Christ

Philippians 4:10-13; NKJV

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your 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, to be content: 

12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to 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 through Christ who strengthens me.

Contentment has to do with satisfaction.  Is it possible to be satisfied with your state in life, whether you have a lot or a little?  If you have Christ strengthening you, then all things are possible.
