“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
Today God has been speaking to me about a blacksmith. This craftsman forges metals into strong vessels.
God is using the analogy of a blacksmith to help us understand His character.
God creates life similar to forging precious metals into a substance stronger than steel.
The handiwork of Christ has many advantages for a believer. The strength of Christ cannot be found in the world. It comes from Heaven.
Some important attributes about the strength of Christ:
It is eternal.
It is resistant to change.
It is unflappable.
It lasts forever.
It is resolute.
It is infallible.
It is resilient.
The question is how can the handiwork of God transcend into the reality of your life?
The response is to ask Christ by faith (without doubt) and He will fill you with His strength.
Most believers waiver between faith and fear.
If you are anchored to God through the Holy Spirit, the strength of Christ will cause you to be unmovable. And, it will give you peace and joy. This miracle of God will happen regardless of the circumstances in life.
The strength of Christ is oblivious to the worries of life. You are anchored to the indestructible rock of Christ!
