What is the real meaning of Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me?  Many have taken this verse out of context and used it as an inspirational slogan for motivation to accomplish all of their hopes and dreams.  In it's proper context, Philippians 4:13 is about contentment.  Paul is saying that Jesus gives him strength to be content in whatever situation or circumstance he faces.

Philippians 4:10-13... 10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 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. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength
