We Can Thrive In Any Season - Here's Why
"I will thrive no matter what happens." -quote by Steve Backlund that I've come back to for many years
Thriving is the opposite of surviving.
The apostle Paul is a great example of thriving in any situation.
- Phil. 4:11-13 “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. 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. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
