DIVINE PARTNER

Posted on 2/28/2008 by tblount

I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do every thing, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do. (Helen Keller)

The Bible says it even better.
Philippians 4:13I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens (empowers) me.

Although you may be just one person, when you are in Christ, you take on the strength and power of God.

But let me reiterate, it must be through Christ.

One of the things I see in people today is just a lack of courage and determination. They get hurt, or something didnt work out so they run to a corner and quit.

So what if something failed or a door slammed in your face. Many times a better door is to be opened. Dark times come to everyone, but the key is not to get the attitude that youre facing something no one else has.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man.

Helen Keller became blind and deaf at the age of two after a high fever. She persevered and became the first deaf and blind person to graduate college.

The most interesting thing to me about her story is the person who taught her. The family found a teacher named Anne Sullivan. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind, but had an operation and regained her sight. She understood what Helen was feeling.
When Helen went to college, Anne went with her. Helen Keller was successful because of her determination. But the most important person in her life was Anne Sullivan who stayed with her for 50 years.

This is a natural story about two natural people.

But what about us? Our helper, the Holy Spirit, is supernatural.

He is our teacher, our guide, our comforter, our counselor, and our divine partner.

But He wont do it for you. Anne Sullivan couldnt have done a thing for Helen Keller if Helen hadnt made her own mind up not to quit.

Rise up in who you are in Christ.

Be determined.

Make your life count.

Quit fretting over what you cant do and focus on what you can.
As Helen put it, I will not refuse to do the something I can do.

What can you do today?

What is in your world that you can change?

You can do ALL THINGS through Christ, which empowers you.
