(Mar 9:23) And Jesus said to him, "'If you can'! All things are possible for one who believes."
Many professed Christians are always doubting and fearing, and they forlornly think that this is the necessary state of believers. This is a mistake, for “all things are possible to him that believeth”; and it is possible for us to mount into a state in which a doubt or a fear shall be but as a bird of passage flitting across the soul, but never lingering there. When you read of the high and sweet communions enjoyed by favoured saints, you sigh and murmur in the chamber of your heart, “Alas! these are not for me.” O climber, if thou hast but faith, thou shalt yet stand upon the sunny pinnacle of the temple, for “all things are possible to him that believeth.” You hear of exploits which holy men have done for Jesus; what they have enjoyed of him; how much they have been like him; how they have been able to endure great persecutions for his sake; and you say, “Ah! as for me, I am but a worm; I can never attain to this.”

I'm starting to realize how important it is for us to continuously meditate on the wonderful truths we have in Christ--His promise of return, our adoption through Him, our renewed relation with the Father, and so many more. Our flesh can only be defeated by the Holy Spirit, as scripture says they are at war with one another. So, today, walk in the Spirit!
