Arrows from above

Well, in this morning's sermon (about the only part of the sermon I listened to) Martin Bailey quoted this:
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. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
This is a passage from Philippians 4:11-13. Now for those who know me well, (particularly one person), and know what I've been going through know that to listen to that would have been quite hard for me to hear. However, as one friend told me to do last night - I was listening to God!
What He was telling me is that I can do everything through Christ, and I need to remember that.
