Part 2: "Come Forth"
by Sharon Jadrnicek
When we truly trust in God's goodness and provision, we are raised above our problems. At that point the bonds that tie us to our physical circumstances and keep us from the promised abundant life is broken, and hope is resurrected once again. Paul understood that being totally dependent upon Jesus was a good thing and his biggest struggle was to not depend on his own strength and intellect but allow Christ to work within him the attitudes that brought power. The struggles of life have no affect on the power of God. His power supersedes our meager ability to "handle things."
