This passage speaks powerfully on the issue of contentment not only with material possessions but with circumstances as well. Extremes of wealth or hardship can test our priorities. Paul spoke of spiritual resources that enabled him to be content regardless of material circumstances: “For all things I have the strength by virtue of [God] who imparts power to me.” (Philippians 4:13) Rather than looking to his possessions, many or few, or to his circumstances, good or bad, Paul looked to God to satisfy his needs. The result was contentment.
Jesus was faced with many difficult situations. He had to handle personality conflicts among his followers, as well as endure the hatred and mockery of his enemies. He also had to resist the temptations of this world.
In Jesus’ case, keeping in mind “the joy that was set before him,” the high rewards awaiting him, helped him to keep walking in the truth. This “joy that was set before him” outweighed by far the temporary discouragements or distractions that he had to face.
Why did Paul not get discouraged to the point of giving up? He explains: “For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me.” (Philippians 4:13) He did not try to carry his burdens alone. Rather, Paul looked to Jehovah to sustain him

will we worship a God waiting to everlasting torture? Yeah. in spite of the undeniable fact that the God I worship additionally delivers the alternative to those that p.c.. it. existence vs. loss of life equals Eternity with God vs. everlasting separation from God. Hell would be extremely distinctive than people think of of, yet i think of of it particularly is inspite of the very undeniable fact that going to be hell. And God isn't a creature. i'm a creature, you're a creature, the virgin Mary is a creature. i do no longer worship creatures.
