Don’t Try…Do

“Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”

So often we fail at a task because of the mindset of try. The word try does not communicate true commitment. When we try we leave room for failure. Just in case it did not work out, remember I said I would try. Trying means we never take full responsibility for the outcome. The scripture doesn’t state “I can try all things through Christ, it says do. There is great power in the word do.

Consider this. If you needed something important done and you approach two people and one said…I’ll try and the other said I will do it, which would you choose?

Of course you are going to choose the one that gave a definite answer to the question.  When we say do, we are stepping out in faith nothing wavering. God honors our courage and begins to work on our behalf. Things that would have never worked out work out. God is going to make sure you are not a liar because you were made in His image and likeness. He will empower you with the strength, source, and ways and means to accomplish the goal. Maybe it’s losing weight, spending quality time with loved ones, reading your word, praying, or attending church. Whatever it is, be intentional. Don’t try…do.
