“Not that I speak in respect of want (poverty): for I have learned, in whatsoever state (condition) I am, therewith to be content." The word "content" means sufficient, strong enough, and independent of external circumstances. To be content means that you are "good" where you are at. It doesn't mean that you won't try to improve, it just means that it is good sometimes just to stop and look around you. There is an old hymn I like, "Showers of Blessings." Your life isn't perfect, but when you look around you will see the "showers." Enjoy the rain.
