I can do all things through him who strengthens me. What Jesus means for us to gather from this passage is that no circumstance in our lives is permanent or reliable in itself. A routine physical exam has the power to change our lives forever as can a weather report we paid little attention to. Wealth is no amulet against that. Careful planning will not forestall it.
Virtuous living is no vaccination.
Correct doctrinal belief is no guarantee, nor is membership in the right church. What Jesus offers us is God s own present companionship in any and all circumstances. God is not our remote critic, not our distant supplier or withholder. God is our steady companion. Our course is to learn to discern God s presence in any and all circumstances, and to assign no meaning to anything until we have felt God s presence in it.
