Philippians 4:13 KJV — I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

Another way God gives us strength is through other people. God may speak to us and strengthen us through the words of a sermon delivered by a pastor. He also may use the words from a friend’s text, card, blog post, or conversation to give you the power you need in a particular situation. Just this week God strengthened me through a friend’s text and a note card from another friend. How has God used your friends, family, or pastor to give you strength? How have you been used to strengthen someone else? 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for those You put in my path to strengthen me. May my eyes and ears be open to those You send and may I be receptive to the message they share with me on Your behalf. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
