“I can do all things through Yeshua who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
Life’s challenges come in different shapes and sizes. And what is a challenge, or a mountain, to one person may be an insignificant molehill to another. We have all met people who can make a mountain out of a molehill, but is it not refreshing to come across someone who seems to so easily conquer a mountain as if it were a molehill?
Imagine looking through a pair of binoculars. Looking through one way appears to magnify what we are looking at. It makes the object we are viewing seem so much closer and so much bigger. Turning them around the other way appears to shrink the same object, makes it seem so small, distant and insignificant. And yet what we are looking at stays the same size regardless of how we look at it. It all comes down to our perspective. Throughout the letters he wrote, Paul the Apostle tells us of the trials he endured for the sake of the gospel. He was beaten with rods, imprisoned, shipwrecked, bitten by a snake and even stoned – and yet he said he could do ALL things, not in his own strength and ability, but through Yeshua who strengthened him. What situations are you facing today? Do they seem insurmountable, too big for you to handle? Maybe they are, if you tackle these problems and challenges in your own strength and ability. But if you draw upon His grace, the enabling power of Yehovah, you too can be more than a conqueror through the Ruach Hakodesh within you.
