Philippians 4:13
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Despite the difficulties Paul had faced while imprisoned in Rome, he found strength and contentment in the joy of the Lord. He reminds us that when we face difficulties in our lives, we can trust God to provide for us, to guide us, and to win the battles for us, just as He did for us in the battle against death. We can face whatever life throws at us with the strength we receive from the Lord Jesus Christ. When we chose to follow Jesus, we were given a new life, one that was infused with the Holy Spirit. It is impossible for us to do anything with our old, fallen, sinful selves. However, by the power of Christ, which flows into us, through us, and out of us, we can accomplish anything. With the Spirit of Christ living inside of us, we have the same strength that He had, with which He overcame death. Whatever challenges you are facing today, remember that Jesus is your source of strength. He is the one who leads, guides, and directs us to the truth. He is the source of our daily strength to endure the test. All things are made possible by Him. The circumstances we face are constantly changing, but God's power never ceases. We can always find strength in Him.
Psalms 60:12
With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
Isaiah 41:13
For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
2 Chronicles 32:7
Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or discouraged because of them, for there is a greater power with us than with him.
