"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."
Acts 20:28

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)
Just before Paul wrote these words, he wrote that he was content in all his circumstances. Paul wrote these words as he was chained in jail! Paul was content because he was learning to see things from God’s perspective. Paul had his priorities straight, and was grateful for all that he had. Paul knew how to focus on the eternal things. And can we really do everything? We can, when we understand that Christ is sufficient to meet all our needs and challenges in life, when we follow His Will. When we live for Him, we can expect to face challenges, hardships, pressures and trials. Maybe not as severe as what Paul faced (like being held prisoner for our beliefs), but when these things happen, ask Jesus to strengthen you – and He will get you through!
