All Things Through Christ

I bless you to know that you can do all things through him who strengthens you. Philippians 4.13.

All thanks? Really? Did Paul think he could run a one-minute mile? Did the apostle think he could jump off a tall building and fly?

Of course not. Paul wasn't interested in attempting to do what God hadn't called him to do. He didn't need strength for hypothetical impossible situations. He needed strength for authentic impossible situations. Joy behind bars. Faith in the face of bad news. Love in an empire of hate. Contentment in every content. You're like Paul, child of God. Whatever God calls you to do, whatever you need to do, you can do it all through Christ who gives you strength.
