There are so many wonderful teachings in this chapter. There is the admonition of Paul used by Joseph Smith in the Articles of Faith to seek after whatever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virture, and things that are praiseworthy. He tells us to be humble, to be content, satisfied with what we have and not always be wanting, that God will supply according to our needs.
One sentence that I have always felt important to remember is: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." That is where true strength comes from. That is where the ability to get through something, to accomplish an overwhelming task comes from. We really can't do very much on our own. Even when we think we are accomplishing something on our own, we have no idea how much help we are receiving from the Lord, usually through the help of angels we are unaware of.
