2CO 4:8⁸We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; (2 Corinthians 4:8) PHI 4:11¹¹Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Philippians 4:11)

We are perplexed, but not in despair.

2 Cor. 4:8⁸We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; (2 Corinthians 4:8)

I have learned . . . to be content.

Phil. 4:11¹¹Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Philippians 4:11)

Here’s another situation that the Apostle Paul had under control. He was perplexed - that means that he was at a loss to know what to do. And yet he knew the Source of help. Perhaps when he was in jail, along with Silas, he was “at a loss” but he sang praises -and help was on its way! Within minutes he was free. Don’t forget, young Christian, that Jesus is always near to give a helping hand when you need it.
