Philippians 4:13 (ESV)

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”

This is a very important verse in these troubling days that surround us. But as hard as it is, Christ gives us the strength to not only pursue Him, but to also persevere in our Christian walk.

It’s not on our strength that we can do the will of God, but the strength of the Lord. Christ’s power is made perfect in our weakness. Paul goes on to say, “I boast in my weakness.” Why? why boast that we are weak? So, that Jesus’ power will rest upon us and to bring Him glory (2 Corinthians 12:9).

This power is given to us through the Holy Spirit and gives us the strength to endure life challenges for the glory of God. We are to be thankful for the work that the Lord has entrusted to us (1 Timothy 1:12).
