At an address in Columbus , ohio , in 1900 , former slave Booker T Washington kept the room spellbound . This man , who had built Tuskegee Institute to lift blacks out of economic bondage , was revered around the world , but he said something that surprised more than a few in the audience .
He said that one of his main priorities for the Institute was hiring more Bible teachers . Washington , who had been forced to work in an evil system , once felt powerless . Yes , an American president legally freed the slaves , but Washington's faith in Christ was the real key in lifting him up .
Philippians 4.13 says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength . Are you down and out right now ? Are you chained to problems too big for you to overcome ? Take Paul's letter to heart and realize that all things are possible for your future through faith in Christ . He has perfect strength , all you'll ever need . And tell him that today let's pray .
And tell him that today let's pray . Lord , your perfect will is more than enough to help us escape a terrible past and future . Our future is what you have told us it will be , and thank you for that blessing In Jesus' name , amen .
