The Secret

Can we be content in this materialistic world? We can if we rely on God's strength and assurances. Paul said:

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Philippians 4:11,12 (NIV)
