What Philippians 4:13 means
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Often quoted for achievement, the verse is actually about contentment. Paul has just said he has "learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" — knowing how to be abased and how to abound.
The "all things" he can do through Christ are, first, to be content in every circumstance — full or hungry, rich or poor. The strength Christ gives is the strength to endure and remain steady, whatever comes. That makes it a verse for hard seasons as much as for goals.
