Comfort in chaos…

During practice last week with a team of grapplers, one of the dudes answered a curious question from his teammate with a verse out of The Bible. The question was what does he do when he’s not wrestling, training, or doing school. The answer was he reads The Bible. It relaxes him, he told his teammates. I asked if there were particular verses that helped him reset. Without pause, he quoted Philippians 4:12.

“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.”

He was quoting Paul (author) who did most of his great writing from a prison cell in Rome. Philippians 4:13, Paul shares his secret. What brings you comfort in chaos, friend?

Live hard. Love harder. Enjoy your Sunday…
