2 Timothy 3:1 (TLB) says, “You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian.” He didn’t say impossible; he said difficult. And the reason it isn’t impossible is the One who lives in you.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me (Galatians 2:20). The Christian life is not you trying to imitate Jesus; it’s Christ living His life through you.
This is why you must never say, “I can’t.” The One in you has never failed at anything. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
Be conscious of Him today. Talk to Him. Acknowledge His presence in every situation, and you will find that what looked difficult simply yields to the life of God in you.
Prayer: Dear Father, thank you for the life of Christ at work in me. I am not alone and I am never overwhelmed, for greater is He that is in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
