For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.—Philippians 4:13
In a world that belittles your efforts, your worth and your reputation, God’s word gives us a powerful source of strength. This strength is not available to the world at large—it is only available to those who look to Him.
When you feel the weight of reproach, fear or self doubt, remember this:
Christ is in you.
Christ is for you.
Christ is with you.
And if he is with you, there is nothing you encounter today that he doesn’t already know about. He is already covering your flank and is blazing the way before you, showing you which way to go.
Whatever you face today, look to him. Approach him in the quietness of your heart. Tell him what you need and what is on your mind. Then thank him for going before you.
Even now he is producing something of eternal value in your life that you can’t yet see. Look to him to develop his strength, wisdom and peace in you as you walk with him.
Even now he is producing something of eternal value in your life that you can’t yet see.
And remember this: You can—you can do all that he’s called you to do. If he’s called you to it, he’ll see you through it.
Allow his strength to accomplish in you what you could never produce on your own.
And why not join us this Sunday at CenterPoint? This is a great place to start, or continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ. You can join us in person here in Tacoma, or you can join us online here on our Facebook live stream. Either way, look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday at 10AM, PDT.
Blessings, Pastor Bill
