PHILIPPIANS 4:13 - FREE PRINTABLE
13:55:00
It’s probably the most well-known and often quoted verse from Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi:
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13
This verse is one of my favourites. Unfortunately, it is also one of the verses most often misunderstood, misused and when we take it out of context we lose the original meaning. People have turned it into a slogan of personal empowerment — an announcement of self-achievement, ambition, and accomplishment.
Out of context, the “all things” seems like it could be referring to whatever someone might want to accomplish ... on the sports field to losing weight to getting a new job or gaining material wealth. But that's not exactly what is being spoken about here.
In context, it is a verse about contentment. It is saying we can be content with anything, with the strength of Christ we can do it. Paul's comment is about being joyful, satisfied, and steadfast, relying on God’s power in order to be content in the midst of circumstances you can’t change. He is reminding the Philippians that they can endure the crushing feeling of defeat if those dreams aren’t realised. It’s not about getting that new job, that new house, or that new outfit; it’s about finding your satisfaction in the job you already have, in the house you already own, and in the wardrobe already hanging in your closet.
