I

We live in the day of the I; I tunes, I pads, I phones and who knows how many more I something are out there. That little letter “I” has gotten many into problems they just couldn’t get out of. I can do that when you couldn’t; I will be so and so when you could never be. Even in our Bible we read of an I guy who had a bad I problem.

Isaiah 14:12  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Isaiah 14:13  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Isaiah 14:14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

First we read of a fall and then how the fall took place; it took place in the heart. "I will ascend" "I will exalt" "I will sit" "I will be like." You know what the outcome of those I will’s were? Here, read it for yourself  

Isaiah 14:15  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

There is another kind of “I” it’s an “I can” and it’s much better; read it for yourself.

Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The Apostle Paul didn’t say he was going to do anything but that he could do it all through Christ who would give him the strength to do it. Then again in:

Colossians 1:29  Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Are you getting the picture the Holy Spirit will give you and I the strength as we labor to do His will and He will mightily do the work in us.
