Philippians 4:13
I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
John 16:33
In This World You Will Have Troubles
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
When Paul wrote this to the Philippians, the verse hearkens me back to the Book of Job...Paul suffered much when he was out ministering to the Gentiles...Jesus even suffered and died on the tortuous cross...Paul was given forty lashes many times for preaching about Jesus...But Paul persisted and endured...The verse is about following Jesus and how He helps us endure and persist as we go through our troubles in life as we continue to believe in Him...
