As we have studied the life of the Apostle Paul—as it is recorded in the Book of Acts—we have seen Paul endure many difficult circumstances. In every circumstance, Paul continued to trust in God and be content in every one of them (2 Corinthians 12:10; Philippians 4:11). Contentment is an outward demonstration of complete dependence upon God. When we rely on God, we are trusting that He has everything under His control—even when it feels like everything is out of control!
