Tag: I can do all things through Christ

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-6-14

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

On our own, we might be able to accomplish some things. We might be able to use our brain power to reach some goals. This isn’t an insult to Christ. It’s a testament to the human brain, which God created and blessed us with.

But on our own we are limited. We are limited to the finite capabilities of that same human mind. We are limited to our own understanding of things. And when we compare that to the wisdom and understanding of God, we are very limited!

But with Christ, the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit and the anointing of God, we can do anything that God directs us to do.

Notice I didn’t say anything that we set our minds to? That’s because our minds are limited, but God isn’t. With God leading us, through Christ, we can do anything.

We can accomplish things in our lives that we would never imagine possible. We can even accomplish things that we never even thought we would be doing!

Once God plants a seed in us to perform a specific task or do a certain job for Him, as long as we follow His plan, we can accomplish it and fulfill His desires for our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-17-12

(John 15:5 NKJV) “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Without Him, I am nothing. This is not symbolic. It is not deeply spiritual. It is not hyperbole. It is plain, simple truth.

Without Christ I am nothing more than a mere human being with mere human traits, strengths and weaknesses.

I am a sinner, a frail human with tendencies to fail… not just once, but many times. This is not to say that I don’t try to do my best or try my hardest. I do try. But in my own strength I am not capable of overcoming much of anything.

But it doesn’t end there. You see, I have Christ in me! And in Him I can do all things!

(Phil 4:13 NKJV) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Despite my desperate, miserable self, God saw fit to take my place on the cross, in the form of Jesus Christ, to pay the price for my sins, my failures and my shortcomings.

Because I have accepted what He did for me and taken on a personal relationship with Him, I am no longer just that frail human I described above. I am a new creation, with God dwelling in me through the Holy Spirit.

So I am no longer on my own or operating solely on my own strength or understanding. With God in me I can do all things and overcome all things. And what’s better… you can do all things if you have Christ in you too!

Take heart today, that He has not left us to fight our battles all alone.
