I can do all things!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13 NKJV)

One of the most amazing scriptures in the bible, but so often quoted and taken out of context. When Paul was writing this he was in pain and hunger and distress, but nevertheless he went forward preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was saying even in these conditions he was able to do all things God had called him to do! 
We take this and try to apply it to our own plans, our own desires, our own wants. 
Often it's not in God's will but ours that we quote this text. God's word is able to perform what he sent it out to do and it has to be conformed to His will. The word says He seeks to perform His word. 
Rather than make our plans and quote his word, lets ask for His plan and then His word will automatically perform His will. 
Let our prayer today be "Lord let your will be done" and because I am doing your will I  can do all things that He has enabled me to do through the energy of the spirit and in complete agreement with the will of Jesus Christ!
