I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want. Philippians 4:12 (AMPC)
The reason why people are moved and affected by every situation is because like a chameleon they have trained themselves to focus on and adapt to the outward. They are therefore controlled by their surroundings and situations.
But when we learn to live and move from the inside where Christ is, where Life Peace, strength, counsel and provision continually abide then no matter what’s going on outside around us we will never be affected or moved. The secret to facing every situation fearlessly, the secret to being unmoved and unaffected by any situation – whether lack or abundance, high or low is always looking away from the outward happenings and looking steadfastly on the inside in our hearts where Christ forever lives and rules.
It is focusing and depending on the Greater One inside of us.
Look to Christ in you, look to the One in whom all things already exist and you will not be moved or affected by the inconsistent, volatile, contradictory situations and surroundings around you.
