The Apostle Paul predated them all with this message: “I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.” His ‘secret’ was “I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.”
But the reminders are always good from more modern thinkers! ❤️&🙏, c.a.
