“I Can Do All Things…” (“Biblical Mantras” series, Week 2 of 6)

One of the worst things you can do to Scripture is to apply it out of context. Everything God said was couched in a rich history, a grand story, and with implications for the time and place it was spoken. Our job is to understand God’s character through all of the guidance He has provided and apply who we see He is to how He wants us to live today.

One of the most misquoted and poorly-understood verses in Christianity is today’s topic: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” We don’t need to stop bullets or make money magically appear; we need to learn peace and contentment in every aspect of life, and when we put God first, other things are added to us. It all starts with priority, and our priorities are getting straightened out even more starting now.

Scriptures today: Philippians 3:13-14 // 2 Corinthians 11:24-27 // Romans 10:17 // John 20:29 // 2 Corinthians 5:7 // Mark 4:19
