All Things

Phil. 4:13  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

You see this verse all the time.  It has even become somewhat of a cliché at times.  It comes to my mind every year at this time.  The home stretch, right before school is out and summer break begins.  I find myself using this verse to convince myself I can make it through one more book report, spelling test and the new challenge…FINAL EXAMS.  I even use it to convince myself to get out of bed. 

So whether you’re trying to endure the last days of school or something much more hard in your life, Christ promise is not cliché.  It is a real promise that God has made to us.  We can stay strong because the source of our strength is from someone who endures the end of time, who never has to convince Himself to get out of bed, and who pass any final exam we throw at Him.
