Philippians 4:13
I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.
I learnt this today. If God called you to do something, then you shouldn’t be able to do it without Him. In fact, if you could do it without Him, then it’s really not a God-thing. How very interesting.
This also means God won’t let you use weaknesses as an excuse for not doing what He’s asking you to do. If God is calling you to any task, then He’ll give you everything you need to complete the task. The Holy Spirit will empower you with God's strength, wisdom and everything needed to accomplish your task. At the end of it, you'll realise the super-natural help and boast about God, not yourself.
On another note, it also means that you and I should evaluate what we are doing for God. Is it simple and such a breeze that you don't need God? Maybe it's time to reevaluate and aim for something harder so you can learn to rely on God more.
