Knowing that God is able gives me confidence to jump into each new day with renewed strength and vision.
What is God “able” to do? ANYTHING! ALWAYS! FOREVER!
He is able to keep, able to save, able to empower, able to heal, able to protect. HE IS ABLE!
“God is strong and can keep you from falling. He can bring you before his glory without any wrong in you and give you great joy. 25 He is the only God, the one who saves us. To him be glory, greatness, power, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord for all time past, now, and forever. Amen” Jude 24 & 25 ERV
Confidence comes in knowing God’s word. Not just reading it as our little “Christian” duty but truly knowing it and by knowing His word we grow in knowing Him.
Recently I took a couple of afternoons and went through old pictures and letters. Reading those letters gave me insight, a knowing, of the friends and family that had written them. Reading them again after so many years, I could recall specific times and events and hear their hearts.
That’s the way it is with God’s word. Reading it we learn His heart and that is what gives me confidence to know that He hears and answers my prayers. God’s word is His will. Praying His word gives a steadfast confidence that He will ALWAYS answer.
“God has also said that he gave us eternal life and that this life comes to us from his Son. 12 And so, if we have God’s Son, we have this life. But if we don’t have the Son, we don’t have this life.
13 All of you have faith in the Son of God, and I have written to let you know that you have eternal life. 14 We are certain that God will hear our prayers when we ask for what pleases him. 15 And if we know that God listens when we pray, we are sure that our prayers have already been answered.” I John 5:11-15 CEV
Trust Him today. He is able. With God we can do it!
“Christ is the one who gives me the strength I need to do whatever I must do.” Philippians 4:13 ERV
