What is the secret that Paul speaks of in Philippians 4:12? " I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
Although Paul was writing from prison, joy is a dominant theme in his letter. The secret of his joy is grounded in his relationship with Christ. People today desperately want to be happy but are tossed and turned by daily successes, failures, and inconveniences. Christians are to be joyful in every circumstance, even when w feel lie complaining, even when no one else is joyful. Christ still reigns and we still know him, so we can rejoice at all times.
Phil 4:4 "Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-rejoice!"
