It's About Jesus!

I know a lot of people think the world revolves around them.  But guess what?  You are not the center of the universe.

You Cannot, But God Can

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

When you say, “I can manage this problem by myself, Lord,” God says, “Okay, you do it then.” But when you say, “Help me, Lord! I need You. I cannot do this on my own,” God says, “Good, I have been waiting for you to say that. You cannot, but I can. Now, watch Me!” That is how God is—He loves it when you depend on Him.

You see, when you think that you are strong and don’t need God, He cannot help you. But when you need Him and look to Him, He will not leave you weak and helpless. He comes and becomes the strength of your life. He becomes the breakthrough that you need.

It is not about self-discipline or willpower that would help you overcome, but the power of God. True deliverance will not come by your own strength, but by “[being] strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”.

So when you say, “I can do something about it,” you are still relying on your human strength. But when you say to God, “I cannot, but You can,” you have just tapped into the real source of your strength—Jesus. And as you rest in His strength, you will see His power manifesting in your life!
