Everyday in our lives we need strength. We need strength to withstand difficult times and trials ; we need strength to obey God ; we need strength to even carry our daily activities.
Where do we get this amount of strength?
Let's read together:
John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
The emphasis in the above scripture is : "for without Me ye can do nothing". Simply put, Jesus is our source of strength. We can forever be strengthened to do whatever task is before us and withstand any opposition as we remain united to Jesus.
Paul was confident in this reality, that was why he boldly could say :
Philippians 4:13:
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
We too can be this confident.
