Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
The Apostle Paul is saying, “I can…through Christ.” That is the language of POWER.
That is victory over every temptation; grace for every trouble; strength for every task — through Christ.
And it’s all things as in v. 12!
Philippians 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
That’s why we need to walk close to the Lord. We need Him.
Just a Closer Walk With Thee
________________________
I am weak but Thou art strong; — Jesus, keep me from all wrong; — I'll be satisfied as long — As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
CHORUS:
Just a closer walk with Thee, — Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, — Daily walking close to Thee, — Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Thro' this world of toil and snares, — If I falter, Lord, who cares? — Who with me my burden shares? — None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
When my feeble life is o'er, — Time for me will be no more; —
Guide me gently, safely o'er — To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
