2CO 4:8-9
8
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8‑9)
PHI 4:11
11
Not 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 . . . persecuted, but not forsaken.
2 Cor. 4:8, 9
8
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8‑9)
I have learned . . . to be content.
Phil. 4:11
11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Philippians 4:11)
I have never been persecuted as was the Apostle Paul. He went through terrible persecution and yet through it all he knew that he was not forsaken. He knew that God was still there ready to help him in his trouble. He had great confidence in God, and he had learned to be content with what God allowed him to go through. This is a tremendous lesson for each of us and one that we would do well to get hold of. We may have to pass through persecution - but we are NOT forsaken. And no matter what our circumstances - it’s great to be content.
