As believers in Christ and
followers of a divine arrangement, we have the unchanging word, “I am able
to [can do] all things through Christ who strengthens me.” [
Phil.4:13 NKJV]
Does this mean we can be
like a superhero and leap tall buildings in a single bound? No, we have to
invent an airplane to fly over them. We are much slower, but we get there
because there is a part of us made in the Creator’s image. So, what does “can
do all things” mean?
If we major on “Seek
first the kingdom of God” [Mt.6:37], we maintain an opportunity, an ability
to go beyond the now, join God’s transcendence, and become more than the sum of
our parts.
At times do you feel
defeated? Feel a failure too much? Feel stuck?
Absorb God’s transcendence,
review 1 John 5: 4, you can overcome the world.
