Philippians 4:13  Having A New Effective Starting  

 

"I can do all things through [a]Christ who strengthens me."

Every single day, you make a choice.

The new beginning that gives power:

 

1) I have a savior for my whole life   (Peter 5:8-9)

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  

Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world."

 

We should be grateful and thankful. When a lion preys, we know that it will pick the injured animal. Thank God that Jesus

will look out for us when we are lost. We all must not fall prey to Satan.

We should not continue to worry daily. Jesus is in us, in our church.  We are under the cross. God will help us to find the 

new door when one door is closed. Remember that Jesus is in our same boat and will help us up.

 

2) We have experienced getting over problems  (Jacob 1:2-3) My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,  knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 

We grow from passing through problems, with a healthy body. We eat good food (words of God) for nourishment.

Whatever we learn in church, we have to apply it, use it. Then we will be able to keep more than 90% and remember it for life.

Every suffering we have comes from our sins. We thank God for teaching us, and letting us know that He is around. God will change the suffering to Goodness. 

Do not behave like the Jews, who were complaining constantly.

For example this Covid period helps us to adjust and have a new way of thinking and handling problems. 

Joseph became the number 2 of Egypt after tackling problems and overcoming them.

 

3) I can see my path with Christ (Psalm 42:5)  Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me?

Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.
