He strengthens me

 

Philippians 4:13 NIV

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

The alarm clock is about to sound and the day to come lies ahead.  Without opening my eyes I speak the truth and promise of God's word over my life.  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)  I ask God for help for He is the source of my strength.  God is my hope and my courage to face the day.  The fact that I have another day is a blessing all on its own and I have to choose to rejoice in the day He has given me.

Being transparent, the work week exhaust me, but God sees me through each day.  He allows me to see glimpses of Him and feel His presence.  He gives me my daily bread so that I can have fortitude and endurance.  He provides.  He is Jehovah Jireh.

Because of Christ I can extend grace to others as well as myself.  Because of Christ, I can press on knowing that my reward is in heaven.  Because of Christ I can do things I thought I couldn't do.  I can do it because of the sacrifice He made on the Cross for me.  I can do it because of the power He exuded to rise again.  I have Christ in my life.  I have Him as my Lord and Savior.  I have been redeemed so I can face anything because I don't do it alone.  He is with me always.  He is my breath of fresh air, my second wind.  He gives me the strength so I stand on His Word.

Lord, thank You for Your Word and Your promises.  Thank You for giving me the strength to live out my days and accomplish the tasks that are before me.  Thank You for mercy and grace.  Thank You for your love.  Thank You for You.  In Jesus name.  Amen
