Day 28: Jesus, You Continually Strengthen Me

Just a little promise with big meaning – that’s Philippians 4:13. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (ESV). I like how Wuest has translated these words: “I am strong for all things in the One who constantly infuses strength in me.” Now we understand the power in the promise. We have everything we need no matter what difficulty or insurmountable obstacle we face today. I am strong for all things because Jesus is constantly pouring His strength into me. He is strong for all things and He makes me strong for all things. I wonder how many of us are facing something right now that is bringing out our weaknesses. We can take heart in the promise of God in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My power is made perfect in weakness.” Rejoice today that God is not like man. He gives and gives and gives some more. He doesn’t hurt a man when he’s down – no, instead He picks him up and gives him new strength. You can count on His strength to make it through today – “As your days, so shall your strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25). So here are your marching orders: “March on, my soul, with might!” (Judges 5:21).

My Response: Lord Jesus, I need Your strength today and thank You for promising me more than enough power to meet every task. Help me launch out with boldness and confidence to live for You and dare to do great and mighty things as You infuse Your strength into me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
