Philippians 4:13 ” I can do everything through Him Who gives me strength.”

In many of Paul’s letters in the New Testament we see his reliance on Christ’s strength and power, not his. In II Corinthians 12:9, he describes his “thorn in the flesh” and how the Lord reminded him that, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” In both Ephesians 3:16 and Colossians 1:11 he writes about being strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit…giving him endurance, patience, and joy. And in II Timothy 4:17, he encourages the young Timothy that he can depend on the Lord to stand by him and strengthen him in times of adversity. So despite anything happening today, I can confidently say that I know where my help and strength comes from…it comes from the Lord. (Psalm 121:1-2)
