For
I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
...through Christ. I can do nothing without Christ. Paul gives us a good reminder of where
Gentiles were at the time of Christ. We’ve come a long ways…only with Christ’s sacrifice
and blessing. Now, He definitely gives us strength and hope…every day and for
an everlasting future with Him.

Don't forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders.
You were called "uncircumcised heathens" by the Jews, who were proud
of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their
hearts. In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from
citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant
promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without
hope. But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away
from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of
Christ. Ephesians
2:11-13
Hope and
strength. There is no strength in our spiritual growth without the hope with
which Christ anoints us. Strength poured out over and within our hearts, soul
and mind. Meditate on the fact that you are no longer an “outsider.” Do you feel
God’s presence with you giving you His peace and strength?
Prayer
~ O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the
day of battle. Psalm 140:7 NASB. The battle belongs to You, Lord. I can do
everything through You, Christ, who gives me strength.
