• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Philippians four eleven and twelve, I have learned, in whatever
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: state I am, to be content. I know how to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: be a based and I know how to abound. Think

  Speaker 1: In other words, he wasn't always content.

  Speaker 1: He had to train his mind to stay at peace.

  Speaker 1: He had to train his mind to look on the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: bright side. He had to train his mind to focus

  Speaker 1: on the good. Well, we've got to do the same thing.

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and bigger and bigger in your mind because you've magnified it.

• 1:42
  Speaker 1: doubt and step.

  Speaker 2: In to faith.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Get out of that discouragement and come on over into joy.
