Phil 4:13-14

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

We all know verse 13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." But did you ever notice the verse after it? "Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress."

Paul is writing to the Philippians letting them know that Jesus was his strength in every thing he was doing.
But also that the Lord gave him helpers to share in what he was doing, which were the Philippians.

There is nothing better then to have a Christian brother or sister along side of you encouraging you in all that you do. Whether it is good times or bad.
There is no such thing as a lone Christian.

Today you may need to come along side of someone to encourage them or rejoice with them in what the Lord is doing in their life. Ask the Lord to show you who you should go to, and go willingly and stick to them, even when things get tough.

Or maybe you are the one who needs encouragement or just someone to rejoice with.
Ask the Lord to bring someone along side of you that will stick with you no matter what.

And in either case, thank the Lord for using you to share your life with someone else, or theirs with you.

And as today's verse say's, "We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us" , and He will bring someone along side to be with you, all the way!"
