Both Abound and Be Abased | Philippians 4:12

Most spiritual writing on contentment focuses on lack. Paul wrote those things too. But in this verse he says something almost nobody says out loud about the other side. He had to learn contentment in abundance too. And the abundance is the harder lesson.Paul calls it a secret. Both seasons are tests. Both seasons are teachers. Both seasons want to lie to you about what is actually holding you up. In lack, the lie is that God has abandoned you. In plenty, the lie is that you no longer need him as much as you did.For the worship leader in a hard season: your job is not to wait for the season to change. For the worship leader in abundance: your job is not to enjoy it without noticing what it is doing to you. Both are formation.Anchored in Philippians 4:12.
