Just what I needed

I woke up this morning worrying about this and that and the other thing. I picked up my Bible, not really looking for any sort of "Word From The Lord, " but just wishing I could stay consistent with my Bible reading and I opened to this verse quite by accident.

¹⁰But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. ¹¹Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: ¹²I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. ¹³I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. --Philippians 4:10-13

God certainly knew what I needed to hear today.
