Strength for the Asking

I have a pillow that is embroidered with Scripture. It says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13." I have read it a thousand times, I've heard it in sermons, and I've heard people in conversations say that they rely on Christ's strength when they have none. But how does that work? How do we actually get strength from Christ? I believe the answer lies in a promise Jesus made two thousand years ago. He knew He would be leaving this earth but promised a Holy Spirit would take his place. We are promised that when we accept Jesus as our Savior the Holy Spirit takes up residence inside us. That's what gives us the "strength for the asking" when we think we have none. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is available to us...through that same Spirit that indwells every believer. So every morning when you think you can't face whatever trial is ahead of you, seek the face of Jesus, God's loving arms, and the power of the Holy Spirit. God is in control of your day and He has way more resources than you do! Be blessed by the Lord and highly favored.
