The Bible does remind us that God is omnipotent, and as a result whenever we feel inadequate, we need to remember the words of Paul in Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”  Through the power of God we can accomplish all that He asks us to do and go through. This gives us hope for our future, Recognizing, what God has the ability to do reminds us that nothing is impossible for Him. This provides Comfort for us, when we catch ourselves worrying about something, we need to remember again, that there is nothing that God cannot handle. This means that the power for victory in life is not in us but in God.

Where is your heart? We often struggle with what is valuable and what is not. Faith’s riches are not found in the material things we acquire. Yet we are so tempted to buy in the philosophy “he who has the most toys wins.” In Hebrews 11:26 we are reminded that Moses, “esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.” To often we live for the here and now over the long range and eternal.

It is because of who Jesus truly is that the truth of salvation can be won by Him, and received by us. … READ MORE
