You might be going through a struggle right now. You might be feeling overwhelmed, but be reminded today of this: Phillipians 4:13 (AMP) “I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]” With “Christ in you”, you are more than formidable against any challenge. The greater one Who lives within you will daily strengthen and empower you to fulfill His purpose. Together with Him, you are ready to tackle any problem, resolve any issue, destroy the works of the enemy, restore the hopeless and the hurting, heal those who have been battered by life’s circumstances, and finish your assignment with joy, strength and confidence! Say it again: I can do ALL things through Christ Who strengthens me!
Help! I’m tired and I need some rest!
Most people in today’s society work too hard! Many work six and even seven days a week. Many don’t even take time to go on a much needed vacation from time to time. The problem with that is that we were created in such a way that we require time to rest and recover. In the same way that our bodies need rest physically, our souls need emotional and spiritual rest.The Lord Jesus took time out to rest physically and to fellowship with His Father. It was not only physical rest. It was also a time when his soul rejoiced with His Father. This would “refill his internal batteries” so that He could continue to minister to the masses. God instituted a Sabbath so that His people would take time from their daily tasks to rest and rejoice in all the good things that God has done for them. Matthew 12:8 says: “For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Also, in Matthew 11:28, Jesus said: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Therefore, know that It is in the Lord Jesus Christ that we find true rest for our weary souls! If you are tired and overwhelmed today, then give your tiredness and stress to the Lord Jesus. He will bathe you in His rest, and He will restore you, spirit, soul, mind and body!
Mark 6:31 “And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.”
