Philippians 4:13
February 1

Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.

This whole chapter is about the Apostle Paul encouraging believers to rejoice in the Lord regardless of their situation in life, and be content - remembering who you are in Christ.

How many times in life have you thought of yourself as too weak, unfit, not smart enough, or even unworthy to do something that someone else could do with little or no effort?  This kind of attitude brings on discontentment in life, always looking at others as more fortunate, smarter, stronger, popular or even prettier (more handsome) than you. Life can be very defeating with that kind of mindframe.

Your life carries great meaning to God. As a believer in Jesus, God created you with a plan and purpose and you are the blessed of the blessed. Remember, you have the Holy Spirit indwelling your spirit to comfort, guide, instruct and empower you to do whatever God has called you to do.

So no matter what situation you find yourself in life, let go of any feelings on inadaquacy and remind yourself of God's promises for you in His Word. Then apply them to your life by verbally reminding your mind over and over that YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS YOU until you get it down in your heart to where you truly believe it. You see, it has to go from the mind to the heart. Everytime you claim a promise of God, God works within you to complete that promise.  Remember, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So speak God's promises out loud over you so you can hear your voice speak into your ears the promises of God.

Without God you can do nothing, but with Jesus, you CAN do all things.

I DECLARE: I CAN do all things through Christ Who strengths me.

MY PRAYER:  Father, help me to purpose to claim Your promises over me everyday and then You do that work within me to bring Your promises to pass.

Rom 4:20-21  Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. (nlt)

If God did it for Abraham, He will do it for you.
