Philippians 4:13

¹³ I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Athletes use these words as motivation to win a game. Students use it as they prep for a test. Job seekers use it as proof they will get the job. And the sick hold onto it as a promise they will be healed. “I can do all things through Christ” is commonly interpreted to mean that you can fulfill any desire you set your mind to. This famous verse is often distilled to simply a personal motivation to get through something tough. This verse’s meaning is for those who are struggling. It’s a reminder, an encouragement, that though life may be tough God is with you. This is a verse that we should go to when we know what hits the fan. You can get through whatever life throws your way because God is with you. This passage should challenge us to keep our eyes in the right place. When we get distracted and start focusing on all the problems around us we lose sight of Jesus and forget that he’s in control. But when we keep our eyes on him we can get through whatever it is that’s in front of us. Remind yourself that whatever you are facing, whatever you might encounter the next day, that God is with you. Recite to yourself, I can do all things through Christ. He will bring me through.
