Self-help. Personal achievement. Human ingenuity. Man-made creations. We often think too highly of ourselves, talk too much about ourselves, and turn too much to ourselves as if God is not there and as if we do not need Him even if He is. But the truth is… The only reason we turn to self-help is because we’ve made a mess that we’re trying to fix. We achieve only what God has given us capabilities to do. The discoveries we’ve made are just that, things that God has known all along. Man-made lakes are filled with God-made water on God-made land. Let us remember: There is a big difference between “I can do all things” and “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
