Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)
13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Reflections:
Have you ever said to yourself, �Well, I�m just waiting to find a new place to fellowship, and then I�ll be able to get back into the spiritual swing of things.� �I need others to spur me on.� We sometimes use the lack of fellowship as an excuse not to move forward spiritually. You�ve probably heard words to the effect that, �if we�re not moving forward spiritually, we�re probably slowly, but surely, backsliding.� Ever wake up one morning, come to your spiritual senses, and say to yourself, �How in the world did I ever get so far from God? �I feel so dry��
One reason for this could well be that we have become way too dependent on others for our spiritual sustenance. When we�re not fed adequately, by them, we find ourselves beginning to diminish spiritually. What many of us don�t realize is that the same Holy Spirit that saved us through the new birth, is the same Holy Spirit that desires to feed us, and quicken us each and every day.
Each one of us is responsible for his or her spiritual growth. When we come to the full realization that the Holy Spirit wants to lead us, guide us, teach us, and empower us to do the will of God -- we begin a spiritual journey so exciting and full that we can earnestly say, along with the apostle Paul that, �I (too) can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.�
Why not ask the Holy Spirit to set your feet on a brand new spiritual pathway, and journey with Him alone? Do you know what will most likely happen? Before long people will be coming to you to be fed spiritually. And hopefully you will point them to the Holy Spirit for a real feast �

Elaine responded to yesterday's "Bible Portion for Today" regarding This is the day which the LORD hath made:"
HI RON. THIS VERSE REALLY SPOKE TO MY HEART. ONE OF THE HARDEST LESSONS I HAD TO LEARN WAS THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH WE CAN STILL PRAISE HIS NAME AND REJOICE IN HIM. I COULD NOT ESCAPE FROM MY PAST FOR MANY YEARS. I WAS LETTING IT CONTROL MY LIFE. I WAS COMSUMED; UNABLE TO SEE A WAY OUT. I WANTED SO MUCH TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT. I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS HURTING; MY KIDS WERE TOO.
WE GET COMFORTABLE WHERE WE ARE CAUSE WE DONT KNOW ANTHING ELSE. BUT THEN I CAME TO KNOW SOME SPECIAL PEOPLE WHO LOVED THE LORD MORE THAN ANYTHING. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THIS WAS REAL AND THAT I TOO COULD HAVE WHAT THEY HAD. AND SO I GOT SAVED.
IT WAS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE - IT WAS NOT EASY - I FOUGHT ALOT. I DIDN'T LIKE CHANGE, BUT I WANTED WHAT THIS JESUS GAVE TO THEM AND SO I WALKED ALONG TAKING BABY STEPS FOR A LONG TIME. THEN THE LORD SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS TIME TO LET GO OF THE SHIRT TALES OF THESE PEOPLE AND START USEING THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD BEEN TEACHING ME OVER TIME . READING, PRAYING, ASKING THE LORD TO DIRECT MY PATH AND TO RELY ON JESUS.
PEOPLE WILL LET YOU DOWN BUT JESUS NEVER WILL. THE GOOD LORD IS STILL WORKING SOME THINGS OUT AND I STILL MESS THINGS UP, BUT JESUS IS ALWAYS THERE TO FORGIVE ME. I HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH. IT'S ONLY BY GOD'S GRACE AND THE LOVE OF SOME SPECIAL FRIENDS WHO JUST WOULD NOT LET ME GIVE UP.
