Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 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. (Philippians 4:11-13)
Are we content? Is Christ enough for us? Can we say with Paul that whatever Jesus asks of us, we can do through Him? We should be content with what GOD gives us, for it all belongs to Him. He should be enough for He provides all things to us as we need them perfectly in His time. And we should be grateful, and relying on Him for our needs, our strength, and our ability to accomplish His will and work.
His will for us is to reach the lost and equip the saints. His work for us is to do it where He puts us. We can do what He wills, and do His work because He will strengthen us. He gives us the Mind of Christ through His Word. He gives us guidance and wisdom through His Spirit. And the hope and assurance we have in Him should lead us to tell others of His love, mercy and grace. We cannot but speak of that which we have seen and heard.
You can only do what Christ commands if you by faith have accepted His free gift of grace and surrendered to GOD on His terms. Without the new birth that Jesus says we all must have to understand the Kingdom of GOD, you are lost and destined for Hell. GOD is not willing that any should perish, He loves you enough that He went to Calvary for you and wants you to be saved from your sIn. Receive Him today.
Whatever He is calling you to do, trust Him and obey His Word today.
In Christ
