“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:13
REFERENCE:
Recently, God has been telling me to live from inside out and not outside in; in other words, I should not let circumstances condition my response, but I should determine what I want to see, drawing from the Christ in me. Paul said that with Christ, you have the strength to overcome challenges and become all that God has designed you to be. Let us go on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through faith in Christ Jesus. You have what it takes; yes, you do.
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly above all you can ask or think, according to His power at work within you.” You have been empowered to be and do by the power of God residing in you through Christ Jesus. You have what it takes to fulfill your dreams and desires, so tap into your power source in moments of self-doubt and uncertainty.
You are not a wimp or weakling that satan can toy with or toss around. The greater One who overcame satan lives in you, equipping you for every challenge and making you sufficient. You are of God and have overcome the devil. Your abilities and potential are not self-generated but sourced from the boundless capability of our Heavenly Father, who made heaven and earth.
The presence of Christ in you is a wellspring of hope, inspiring confidence that better days are possible and assured with Him. As we navigate the complexities of life, know that you are not alone in your journey; God is with you. He said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). With God by our side, we can face any challenge with unwavering confidence.
When David faced Goliath, he seemed ill-equipped against the towering giant. Yet, armed with faith and a sling, he met the challenge head-on, knowing that his strength came not from the sling but from the Lord. Don’t let the giants you face make you lose heart; there is a spring of grace and glory in you – Christ Jesus. Draw from Him and walk in victory; you have what it takes.
