Philippians 4

​ "Greater is He that is (within) me than he that is in the world?"

But why (within) me and not beside me or with me?

There were several explorers that wanted to explore a particular sunken ship, the problem was no one could reach it because it was too deep, and the pressure was overwhelming.

Finally, one scientist made it to the ocean floor and reached the ship. When asked how he accomplished this, he said,

"I built a small vessel that could produce (more) pressure (internally) than the pressure produced (externally)."

This is how the Lord works in our lives. He gives us (internal) strength to handle (any) external problem. He does not want us trying to do things in our own strength.

As we pray for Strength, Guidance, Protection and Wisdom as you daily read the word, the Lord will (renew) your mind. He will strengthen your heart so you do not feel overwhelmed, alone or get discouraged or give up. The Lord will never give you more than you can handle but, He will give you more to handle, there's a difference.

"I can do (all) this (through) him who (gives) me strength."
