He is Able!

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” Jude 1:24-25

No matter what our needs, how pressing our circumstances, how dire our straits, our God is able to supply the answer. He created the universe without end, speaking it into existence. He dried up seas, parted rivers, routed armies, tumbled walls, sent His Son in the likeness of flesh, and raised Him from the dead so that He lives forever.

As we come into the presence of God today, praise Him that He is more than able to deal with any difficulty we are experiencing. Focus on His awesome “...glory, majesty, dominion and authority...” (Jude 1:25).

If our burdens are long-standing, remember that God’s power and ability are inseparably linked to His purpose which is that we “...become conformed to the image of His Son...” (Rom. 8:29). Our sicknesses may remain; our divorces may not be reconciled. But “...God is able to make all grace abound to you...” (2 Cor. 9:8) so that you will be conformed to the likeness of Christ.

God is “is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think...” (Eph. 3:20). God is willing; God is able. Look to Him, and you won’t be disappointed.

“Now to Him who is able...” Jude 24
