All Things!
"I can do all things
through
Christ who strengthens me."
Philippians 4: 13
The words trials and temptations are from the
same root word. So it is no surprise then that
they are also connected spiritually as well as
grammatically. A test can become a trial, and
a trial can lead to temptation.
Take Job, for example, in the Old Testament.
He was tested, and his test became a lengthy
trial during which he was tempted to doubt
God’s fairness and goodness. But he hung
on and resolved his trial by affirming his
faith in God’s goodness.
Paul summarized his approach to hardship
by writing, “I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me.”
Paul said he didn't resent the tests and trials
in his life because they gave him opportunity
to display grace of Christ in his experience
(2 Corinthians 12:7-10).
God always makes a way through trials
and temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13).
You can do all things today through
Christ.
"Temptations are everywhere,
and so is the grace of God."
