“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. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I can agree with Paul here. I have learned to rough it as the Aussies would say. However, living in a tent or. Car would challenge me. My son is involved in outreach to these people in Brisbane, Australia. I also don’t think I’d like to use a rock as a pillow as Jacob had done. That would be a tad uncomfortable.

Paul was the maker of tents and so I imagine he spent some time in these. I like tents when camping but as I age they are becoming uncomfortable. Yet, Paul was in chains in prison when he wrote this letter to the Phillipians. The discomfort he would have experienced would have been extreme.I understand that with Christ all things are possible. Jesus is the ingredient in contentment. 

In July/Auguelst my friend Chelle and I will go to Mangri to do research and serve the Lord. Whilst in Mangri we will have beds, not as comfortable as mine here in Kathmandu but clean. We aim to travel to another place called Talcha which is not clean nor is it comfortable. Chelle does not want me to go there as she has had a dream in which I landed on my head. When I think of that place I see intense darkness. We will see what the Lord wants.

Serving the Lord and responding to His heart is paramount. He provides strength for all that comes our way. Amen!
