Do you ever feel overwhelmed? Then you can relate to my 4 yr old son today. His playmate came over and their idea of fun was to take every book off the shelf, every cd out of its case, every piece of clothing out of the drawers and pile it in the middle of the room. After his friend left, I discovered this and told him to go clean it. He said, “I can’t; It’s too much!” I made him recite this verse he’s been learning: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. It came out so wimpy, I said you sound like a mouse. Say it again, this time like a Lion. Well, this time he sounded like a little dog. “Again”, I said, “like a lion”. He did great and I could see the power of our words and the tone that makes us believe, truly believe! We broke up the room in small tasks. He first put all the books back by himself, I came in and praised him and gave him the next task and with a little help from his sister at the end, it was back in shape. Try it yourself, it’s very powerful to say that verse OUT LOUD when you feel overwhelmed! “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!”
