It’s Really NOT all about You!

February 17, 2012 // Posted by Brad Hoffmann // 2 Comments
It’s really isn’t. We try to do life on our own way too often. You were never created to do it all by yourself. When I find myself at the end of my rope with little to grasp or literally losing my grip, it is then and only then that I’m reminded in my own misconceptions and self illusions. I don’t have to do it on my own or even in my own strength. I don’t have to pull up my own boot straps. I have no strength; my strength really is in Christ. Take Philippians 4:13 to heart, “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” Life is hard. Why keep doing it on your own especially when you can live out of His strength. Let Matthew West remind you with Strong Enough.

    I try to handle things on my own too often. You are right it is not all about us, but Our Lord and he is our strength. This verse helped me so much when I lost my brother to cancer 12 years ago. And just recently when my grandson had pneumonia. But I need to rely on his strength every day and not try to do it all by myself. Thank you for the reminder
