"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13....No doubt this is one of the most quoted and used scriptures in the bible. We turn to it to get us through situations in life, for inspiration in life and as a motivator for life. We use it to say "I can do this" when something just seems to hard. But do we really grasp that it is God reaching out to us when we face things in life that we have no desire to face...things we go through that we don't want to go through...things in life that we would just rather ask God to take from us, instead of taking us through. Sometimes God may say "no, I need you to go through this, but I will get you through it". And this verse is a promise from God that you can get through the things that you have no desire to get through, if you allow Him to be your strength. As a follower of Christ you are going to face things you would rather not face. Tough choice, situations and heartache...and that is when God tells us through His word, "I WILL get you through it, if you rely on me". Yes, you can try to do things in your own strength, and you might even be able to tough your way through it, but just know that it may be harder and way more stressful then it needs to be because it is not being done by God's design.
He longs to pour out His love, grace, mercy and HELP to all who call upon His name. I don't know anyone else in my life who invites me to drop every problem I have on them so they can help me through it. Thank you God!
