PUTTING THE WORD TO WORK: Philippians 4:13.. is frequently quoted, especially in its king James translation: I can do all things...I believe sometimes this verse is taken out of context. it does not mean that I can do anything I want to do, or that I can do anything someone else does, it means that I am able to do whatever God assigns me. in this context, the apostle Paul refers to the ability to be abased or to abound and to be content either way (Phili 4:12). he knew that whatever state he was in, it was gods will for him at that moment, and he also knew that god would strengthen him to do what he was calling him to do. Paul believed that even unpleasant things would ultimately work our for his good (Rom 8:28). This understanding of (Phili 4:13) helps me a great deal in my life to deal with difficulties and remain positive, and it helps me in my ministry. it teaches me to remain within the boundaries of what the lord has called and equipped me to do and not try to undertake things that are not within my God-given talents and abilities to accomplish, this attitude takes pressure off of me and it will do the same for you Amen.
