To Do: Rely on God’s Strength
Living in times when many can point to degrees, experience, skill and a host of others things as proof of their ability, as Christians, it’s important to remember who truly enables us, God.
God is the One who gifts us. God is the One who enables us. And God is the One who strengthens us.
So as you set out to do anything, always remember that God is your strength and because that is true, you must rely on Him. Not yourself.
When you do so, you won’t have to be afraid of failure or be insecure, for God will perform all things for you.
Bible Verse: 2 Timothy 2:1 (NKJV)
You therefore, my son be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
It is not by your own great strength or that you have been saved, it is by God’s grace. So instead of relying on yourself, you should do as Paul instructed Timothy, be strong in the grace of Jesus Christ.
The grace that saved you, the grace that keeps you and the grace that will preserve you until His return.
