Todays Thought - Philippians 4:13

Todays Thought

Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength"


Have you ever had one of those days when it seemed like everything you did was wrong? I know what your thinking, everyday something seems to go wrong.

Paul, the Apostle, wrote the above scripture while sitting in a prison cell. If anyone deserved to feel defeated and discouraged in life, it should have been the Apostle Paul. However, he learned the importance of keeping things in perspective and learning to completely rely upon God’s strength regardless of the circumstances. That's a hard lesson to learn and apply when life seems content on beating us down.

As we strive to make a difference with our lives there will always be people, situations and circumstances that can zap us from our spiritual strength and energy. In fact, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with all of life’s challenges and hardships. However, the same spiritual strength the Apostle Paul experienced in his life is available to us. Where does this strength come from? The answer, “through Christ.” It is in Christ that we find the strength we need to do “everything” we need to get done in life. Fix your thoughts on Christ today and move forward with confidence that “through Christ” you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

You are Loved!
