We see that Paul's rejoicing was not because his circumstances had become easier due to the gift from the Philippians, but because Christ was glorified through their genuine care and self-sacrifice--his rejoicing was because Jesus was being glorified. Paul then explains how vital contentment is for Christian maturity and goes into quite some detail in order to show us what contentment looks like in the dusty details of our day to day living.
