May 27 Through Christ… Philippians 4:13
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
Many years ago, I remember my daddy talking about a young man that came to him with a profound question. Apparently, this young man was having a particularly difficult day, and he asked, “If I get born again, will all of my problems go away?” Daddy said, “No son, but you will possess the power to deal with them!” Our God, through the saving Grace of Jesus and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit will provide wisdom and strength and courage to face each new challenge. He will bring into our lives, fellow believers that will assist in carrying our burdens, and He will provide clarity and assistance in our most difficult challenges! The one thing that you can count on, is that Satan will do everything possible to discourage you and to cause you to stumble. One of Satan’s tricks, that he has employed with me, is when he whispers, “See, I told you that God doesn’t really care about you!” That is when I say, “Leave me alone, Satan!” This is when I ask the Holy Spirit to hold me close and to assist me in resisting the Devil! TRUE FACT: In the middle of life’s challenges and problems, God supplies everything that we need to overcome and to be victorious! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused … THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
