God's Walk-Line Promises - God's Strength
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” That promise in Philippians 4:13 becomes more than a verse when life presses us into places we’ve never walked before.
In 2008, I found myself facing something I had never experienced—prostate cancer and the surgery that came with it. I spent weeks praying, wrestling with fear, and admitting to the Lord that I was afraid. I had never had cancer before, and I had never had surgery before. But in those weeks of prayer, I asked God for one thing above all else: His strength. And the Lord answered. When the day of surgery arrived, something unexpected happened. Instead of the anxiety I thought would overwhelm me, I felt peace—steady, quiet, unmistakably from Him. After the surgery, that same strength carried me in ways I still marvel at. I felt an inner strength I had never known, and during recovery I found myself walking all over the hospital, not in my own power, but in the strength God supplied. He was faithful then, and He remains faithful now.
I don’t know what you are facing today, but I can vouch for the God who meets His children with strength exactly when they need it. As the old song reminds us, “What He’s done for others, He’ll do for you.” The same God who walked with me will walk with you, strengthening you step by step, until fear gives way to peace and weakness gives way to His power.
and we feel we cannot take one more step.
The Lord picks us up, and carries us;
And in His strong arms, we are truly kept!
