It
is written Philippians 4:13
I
will do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
At
first glance, you may or may not realize just how much power is in
this verse. This is not just a feel-good verse. It's meaning is
exactly what it says.
I
will give you an example of how I started using this verse, a couple
of weeks ago. As I said in a previous blog, I started riding a
bicycle after many, many years.
As
I got older and my lifestyle changed, my legs no longer had to work
as hard as when I was young. As a result, my legs are not as strong
as they used to be. Bad news for riding a bike.
About
my third time out, I set a distance goal for myself. The trail had a
series of hills. Nothing really steep, but to older legs a challenge.
As
I wrote, my legs started to get tired, and then I started to get
pains. I was determined not to give up. Almost automatically, I
started repeating this verse over and over, as I was riding. To make
a long story short, I made it.
I
have found that every time the going gets tough, this verse gets me
through. The Holy Spirit really is the helper Jesus said He would
send. When you use this verse any time you don't think you can make
it, it will help you too. You might as well do it, what have you got
to lose?
Remember
Jesus Loves You
Prayer
of Salvation
Lord
Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood
washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and
resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins, and come
into my heart as my personal Savior.
Thank
You
Amen
