Lenten Devotional - Day 4

Philippians 4:10-20 

"I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need."

It is so hard to ignore this "secret" that Paul is writing about. How do we best handle situations of plenty and/or little? Is it responsible resource management? How do we fall into situations of plenty and/or little? Is it luck? So often it is our innate human nature to try and find the secret behind our supposed successes and failures. Perhaps the secret is living fully into each moment. To understand God' presence amid the moments of plenty and of little.

When have you been in a situation of plenty? When have you been in a situation of little? How did you handle them?

Lord, we have been full. Lord, we have been hungry. Amid the times of both plenty and little help us to live fully into the present moment.
