Sometimes doing what God wants us to do, to live in a Godly way, to do things the right way, seems difficult at times. There are times where we think we just don't have the strength to do it. If you try to do it on your own, then yes, you do not have the strength to do it, in fact, you are set up to fail...on your own strength. But God will never have us do anything that we can not do because He is the one Who gives us the strength. In fact that strength is already inside of you. The Apostle Paul says that "we are being strengthened with all power." The word "power" in the Greek is dynamis. Dynamis means miraculous power, power for performing miracles. This same dynamis is used when describing the power to raise Jesus from the dead. Think about it, the same power (dynamis) that raised Jesus from the dead is the same power (dynamis) that is inside of us. Dynamis is inside you, inside me, inside every believer! So yes, you, on your own, do not have the power to do anything, but with God's dynamis power inside of you, you do have the strength...He has given you that, all you have to do is trust and believe.
Take Away: the next time you feel weak and don't have the strength to live the way God wants you to live, stop relying on your own power, and ask God to strengthen you with His power, His miracle working power!
