Paradox in Scripture
July 1, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money.
M Paradox: a statement that seems contradictory. Jumbo shrimp, legal brief. Our culture has many. Paradox in Scripture: When I am weak, then I’m strong. II Corinthians 12: 10
V Paul said, 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. Philippians 4: 12
That formula for contentment defies our cultural standards.
Believers can be content with less rather than more. We treasure simple. We opt out of the comparison race: better house, better job, bigger account. We know its all God’s.
M Don’t be surprised, my friend, that you struggle. Jesus did as a human too. Lean into His strength to live the paradox.
