OCTOBER 15 & 16, 2022 – Really? Anything?

OCTOBER 15 & 16, 2022
Daily Reading – Isa. 32-36 / Phil. 4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Philippians 4:12-13 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  Too often we will hear the statement Paul made in Phil. 4:13 taken out of context. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” People ask really, anything? YES, really, anything. That is anything Christ would do or have us to do. God was not doing things for Paul, but rather with Paul. We must be willing to be used for Christ’s purposes first.

  Paul says in verse 12, I get by with very little in life, and I handle wealth without letting it control me. He has had times of plenty to eat, and times when there is not so much. What he is saying is he can handle all of life’s situations through Christ who strengthens him. In verse 19, Paul says, be content, God will supply your need.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Do we desire God’s help to live daily for Him, or some superhuman strength to show off?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
