Doing things through Christ

by -
Philippians  4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Apostle Paul recognises the essence of a Christian life—a life not bound by personal limitations but liberated through the boundless strength found in our Saviour, Jesus Christ. As believers, we are called to live a life that above the ordinary, tapping into a supernatural source of strength that originates from our relationship with Christ.

Firstly, let us recognize the significance of the phrase "I can do all things." It implies not just success in our endeavours, but triumph over challenges, perseverance in adversity, and the ability to navigate life's complexities with unwavering faith. Through Christ, we find the courage to face trials head-on, knowing that His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

This verse prompts us to reflect on the source of our strength. It is not drawn from our own abilities, but rather from our connection to Christ. When we align our will with His, when we surrender our plans to His purpose, we become rooted in a divine reservoir of strength that empowers us to accomplish far more than we could ever imagine.

As we navigate the various aspects of our lives—whether in our relationships, careers, or personal endeavours, let us remember that the key to success is not self-reliance but Christ-dependence. It's about acknowledging our need for Him in every situation, seeking His guidance, and trusting in His provision.

In times of uncertainty, let us not succumb to fear or doubt, for through Christ, we gain the strength to face the unknown with confidence and at the end we can say we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.

God bless you.
