No matter what the situation of life that calls you, let your response be the Word of God that says "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me". It is not 'some things', rather it is 'all things', but do you believe it? Do you believe you can do all things not through your own strength, intellectual prowess, or skills, but through Christ who strengthens you? Do you know that the strength comes from Christ himself? When God strengthens a man, he walks in infinite possibility, unless he chooses to be his own limitation.
David killed the lion and bear with his hands; Samson carried the city’s gate up a hill.
Sarah bore a child in her old age; Peter preached and thousands repented.
The blind received their sight; the lame walked.
Dear reader, you are the next on the list. It is your turn today. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Let that be your response from today.
