Quote: The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.
Illustration:God in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior is able to establish you through the proclamation of the Gospel. The Greek word translated "establish" is sthrizw, v {stay-rid’-zo} has this meaning 1) to make stable, place firmly, set fast, fix 2) to strengthen, make firm 3) to render constant, confirm, one’s mind.
Application: God is able to establish those that embrace the proclamation of Jesus the Christ. His work in each believer purges out all instability, irrational fear, unproductive anger, condemnation, unfruitful acts and wasted mental energy.
The one who submits to God’s work in them through Christ is prepared for service by every situation and all the minute events that lead to the situation.
Assurance: Nothing can destroy the servant that humbly moves toward Christ in every storm, difficulty, insecurity, fear or human inability.
Scriptural Promise:
For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, His Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7)
