~ Good Morning!

Thank the Lord the ice, and frozen temperatures have, “Left the Building,” in Central Oklahoma!!! Now I’m praying that electricity will be restored to everyone’s home and businesses.

Two of my daughters have extensive storm damage at their homes, and have been without power, for a number of days now. Trees are broken, and down, all over the Family Life Church campus. I can relate to your problems, right now, and I’m praying for a quick relief for your circumstances.

Our verse for today is found in …

• Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ •

“I can do all things through Him (Jesus) who strengthens me.” (ESV‬)

• The BOTTOM LINE •

The Apostle Paul, here, is testifying to the sufficiency (ability, power) of Christ’s strength. He’s saying, because of the Jesus that is within him, he is prepared to endure any circumstance, in life, because Jesus empowers him to do so.

In today’s language, Paul is saying … “Jesus gives me the strength, at the time, to endure whatever I must endure. So if I have nothing, I’m alright, and if I have plenty, I’m still alright. I have total faith in Jesus.”

• CONCLUSION •

The same is true with you. Jesus will empower you to deal with whatever situation that you find yourself in.

Today — Pray, Stand on the Promises of God’s Word, Have Faith in Jesus — and He will empower you to endure in whatever situation that you find yourself in.

Expect Your Blessings!

Sincerely,

— Pastor Gene
