Philippians 4:11-13 (NASB)

11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in

whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with

humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in

any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being

filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and

suffering need. 13 I can do all things through Him who

strengthens me.

‘I know God doesn’t give us more than we can handle, but

sometimes I wish He didn’t trust me so much’.

accomplish whatever He asks of you, how might that help you in

your life today?

His co-worker, and you can do all things

through Christ. In Christ, you are everything

you were created to be. How will you live

this week knowing that to be true?
