Christ is the one who gives me the strength I need to do whatever I must do. But it was good that you helped me when I needed help. You people in Philippi remember when I first told the Good News there. When I left Macedonia, you were the only church that gave me help. Philippians 4:13-15 ERV:

Strength from Christ, care from the church. Paul says Christ gives him the power to face every task and trial, and he gratefully remembers how the Philippians supported him when he needed help. That twofold truth matters for us today: our ability to serve and endure comes from Christ, and God often uses other people to meet our needs. Let that shape how you live, rely on Christ for strength, and stay alert for chances to help others, whether they’re close to you or someone you hear about through the community. Today lean into Christ’s strength in hard moments and let gratitude move you to practical generosity.

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, thank You that You are my strength for every day and every task. When I feel weak, fill me with Your power. Help me notice the needs around me and give me a grateful heart for those who have helped me. Use me to encourage and provide for others and teach me to depend on You first. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen.
