TODAY’S THOUGHTHave you ever had one of those days when it seemed like everything you did was wrong? I thought of our little dog Shaggy when he had to have surgery on his ear. He wasn't to happy. If he was human he would have felt like it was one of those days. For you and I it may be sickness or we just feel like the world is crashing in around us.
For Paul, the Apostle, It was prison, he wrote "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." 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.
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!
