"I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength." ~Philippians 4:13, NCV
Sometimes I feel afraid to try and do something new, something different. I know I have no excuse, this verse says that clearly, but I do it anyways. We don't ever have to let fear control us in new situations, because Christ, in whom we chose to believe and trust, gives us strength to do all things, or simply anything.
Now this doesn't mean we should go out and rob a bank or nab a car, just because we can do "all things" doesn't mean we should. This verse does not cancel out the 10 Commandments because it is in the New Testament, this verse should give us courage to step out in God's plan for us with faith that He can make it work, and that He gives us strength when we don't have enough.
What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? God can make that happen, although He doesn't guarantee a fail-free life. Go on, try!
