As we look forward to the coming new year, many will make resolutions…so for the next week we’ll look at negative statements we make all the time and God’s Word that counters them.
First off, no, you probably can’t do it…but God can. Philippians 4:13 is explicit, “I can do all things through Him Who strengthens me.” And Paul continued to declare this in II Corinthians 12:9 and I Timothy 1:12, reminding the Church that God’s power was made perfect in his weakness and thanking God for giving him the strength. When we rely on Christ’s power and follow His example, we’re able to face all circumstances with peace in our hearts. For despite our human weaknesses, God’s Gospel of grace & mercy will accomplish His plan & purpose in our life. I can’t under my own strength…but with God’s help, I can do anything.
