If you ever think that nothing is impossible, think of Phillipe Croiizon and his inspiring story. Phillipe was born in 1968. As a youth, he lost his arms and legs through electrocution. In August 2012, Phillipe accomplished the impossible as he became the first physically-challenged person to swim across The English Channel without limbs. He also swam the Bering Strait, the waterways connecting five continents: Oceania, Asia, Europe, Africa and America. What a challenge to the youths of this generation!
My friend, our text says that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. What an assurance! You may presently be experiencing seemingly impossible challenges in your life, with no hope of a solution in sight. Refuse to accept the limitations of what your sight and other senses convey to you, and firmly hold onto the promises of God. Like Phillipe,
you will weather your storms victoriously if you persevere. You can gain that difficult college admission, excel in those difficult courses, and overcome any sinful habits. God will grant you an all-around victory if you consecrate
your life to Him.
