Where does your strength come from?
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Not too long ago the Power Team came to Douglasville. They went to 29 schools and gave inspirational speeches. At night they performed at another local church and then they could include God in their act unlike at the schools. I was there one night and with my 5 year old cousin, I watched as they tore through phone books and bent steel and broke bricks with their heads. He was in awe of everything they could do and told his mom that he wanted to grow up and be a member of the Power Team. Well, this got me thinking. You know they have to work really hard to develop the muscles they have. Probably hours and hours at the gym, eating the right things, and with the motivation from other members around them,they are able to do all of this. Well what if we as children in Christ tried this with our spiritual life? What if we let Christ into our lives and spent time in His Word? Or listened to the right kind of music? Or even tried to encourage those in our youth group who are going through a tough time? If we would put Christ into our lives, then we will be able to do all things and overcome our problems through Him.
