A wonderful scripture verse, Philippians 4 verse 13:, and if we look at it from a different translation in the Message Bible, it sounds like this:
"Whatever I have, where ever I am, I can make it through anything in The One {Christ} who made me who I am".
When we look back at Genesis 1 verse 26 to 29: {Message Bible}:
"God spoke: 'Let Us make human beings in our Image, make them reflecting our nature
So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth'.
God created human beings; He created them godlike, Reflecting God's nature He created them male and female. God blessed them.
When God made us in His Image, He made us coworkers in overseeing creation and gave us responsibility over His work.
First we created in His image. He has invested in us, He has created us for a reason, which gives meaning and purpose.
Next, we are created workers, God is a worker, He created us for our work to have value and worth.
Finally, We are God's coworkers, He has given us management responsibly to subdue the earth. Coworkers with Him when we manage creation or advance human well-being.
That is how His original Creation was created for, but {Sin} wrong-doings against God, caused a great fall Adam and Eve, fell from their positions as coworkers, all creation fell with them which includes you and me.
John 3 verse 7, tells us: {Message Bible};
"So don't be surprised when I {Jesus} tell you that you have to be 'born from above' {born-again} —out of this world , so to speak".
Born- again to become the Co-workers, we were created to be. Then we can truly say, "Whatever I have, where ever I am, I can make it through anything, , in The One {Whose image I have been made in} who made me who I am".
Many messages with message.
God Bless.
