The secret to Paul’s contentment did not emerge from a manual on how to live the Christian life or from a workshop on positive thinking. He didn’t have access to a stack of self-help scrolls promising to shore up his sagging self-confidence. Paul’s secret was not found in a program, but in a Person. Christ made the difference. He taught His servant to endure all situations, every circumstance, each difficult challenge, no matter how adverse, through His power. Paul released all rights to His Master and, in turn, He released all the strength Paul needed.
