I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me Philippians 4:13
Paul was imprisoned when he wrote this letter to the church at Philippi. It is interesting, that he wrote to encourage them, for he was the one who was in chains! We all know that Paul faced many, many hardships, however - he was determined that no hardship would rob him of his Joy, and that he would surely finish the race God had for him to run. That Joy, was the Joy of his salvation by Jesus Christ, the Joy of the Gospel. That Joy, he held way deep down on the inside, where the enemy - through various situations and circumstances - could have NO ACCESS to it, and thus, to him.
The word for this week is very simple. We will experience hard times, challenges, setbacks, and disappointments along our journey. We will at times wonder if we are headed in the right direction, because the road we are on is so rough, and there are so many roadblocks. BUT GOD. His promise to us, as it was to Joshua, in Joshua 1:5 is this... No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.
God is not a man, that He should lie. He will do what He said He would do. And you, you can make it. Regardless of what you may be experiencing at this time, give the enemy NO ACCESS to your Joy! Regardless of how difficult things may seem at the moment, know that you can do it, for YOU can do all things through Christ who strengthens you! Now. Lets keep it moving people of God. There is work for us to do. AMEN.
