” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
I have read, memorized and quoted Philippians 4: 13 on many occasions. However, I have never asked the question as to “what do I allow him to do through me? ” Our God uses his children in the world to help people get through all kinds of problems and anxieties. He uses you and me in all kinds of situations to help others. He will even put us into situations that will help us directly. He will put us in places that allow us to be used, but the question is, “do we allow him to use us?” You might say, “why wouldn’t I allow my Lord and Savior to use me?” The answer is quite simple. Fear, doubt, worry, embarrassment, our focus is on the wrong things, or we are just too busy to hear him. It should be our goal to be used by the Lord. Our mission should be the mission of our God in heaven. Our desires should consist of things that will help others in life and help those who need Christ to be brought closer to him. That was a mission that Jesus had when he walked this earth. He healed, he forgave, and he saved. As his children we are to help heal and help the process of salvation in any way the Lord dictates to us. Are we staying focused on our Lord? Are we listening to him? Is he first in our lives? If we are too busy and not responsive to Him then He will find others to do his work. He always succeeds and never fails, unfortunately as humans, we do fail. I don’t know about you, but I know that I don’t want to miss one thing that God can use me for. Stay focused and close to God in prayer! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
