If we are not careful, we will depend on ourselves to do things that only God can empower us to do.
Every good work, God empowers us to do that.
We are only human and our strength is going to run out at some point, no matter how strong we think we are.
God's grace gives us power to do and accomplish more than we ever could in our own strength.
Let us be thankful to God for empowering us.
He gives us power to make it through adversity, to do good works, and to love our neighbors.
