Our Extremity – God’s Opportunity

Michael Beck

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13)

If you say, “This has to stop!” and it doesn’t, what do you do?
If you say, “I’ve had enough!” and more comes, what do you do?
If you say, “I can’t take one more thing!” and one more thing happens, what do you do?

Don’t set yourself up for a fall. Don’t cater to a spirit of infirmity. Don’t be weary in well doing. You are in a battle. The enemy would wear you down. He would weaken you from within. Don’t be ignorant of his devices or he’ll get an advantage on you. Let the power of Christ be made perfect in your weakness. Find your refuge and strength in Him. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. He gives power to the faint. Wait on Him and He will renew your strength.
