Day 7: Wednesday, March 8, 2017
Rev. Bob Walker
All Things: REALLY?
Scripture:
Philippians 4:13 (NRSV) “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
Devotion:
This is one of my all-time favorite scriptures. A friend used to lead his congregation in the recitation “We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!!! It is a great verse as long as you understand that Christ will lead you to accomplish anything that is His will for you. Not just any ole thing. When we pray to do His will then he gives us the strength to do it. You know the old adage: “God does not call the equipped but he equips the called!” So as long as it fits into God’s will for us and those around us we will succeed. And we must remember it is through God’s power, not our own. The minute we think it is all about us is the moment we begin to slip down a very slippery slide to failure.
So as we strike out on the mission that Christ has set before us “We can do all things through him who strengthens us!!!” We just have to stay on track and ask every morning, “Now what did you have in mind for me today, Lord?” Keep the faith and Godspeed.
Prayer:
Lord, it is in your Holy Name we set out on our day. Give us the grace to see your will clearly and then the courage to follow it! AMEN.
