What God Can Do

WHAT GOD CAN DO 

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,  And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” (Jude 24-25)

One of my favorite Bible teachers is Dr. Woodrow Kroll, President of Back to the Bible. He has been a dear friend for years and is a great expositor of the Word. Today he shares with us the truth WHAT GOD CAN DO:

            While the power of God is unlimited, His power never operates outside of His moral character or His perfect will.  That is why there are some things God simply will not do.  But there are many things God will do for us that we don’t have the power to do for ourselves.  These are the things that bring the greatest joy to our hearts.  Let’s praise God for some of them.

God is powerful enough to provide for us more than we ask.  Ephesians 3:20-21, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”  While we often think in terms of asking too much of Him, He often thinks of us in terms of asking too little.  If we ask in His will, He is able to super-abound in our behalf.

God is powerful enough to preserve us strong in His salvation.  John 10:28-29, “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”  Many people struggle with their own security because they have an inappropriate view of salvation.

Salvation is not God reaching out of heaven and our grabbing His hand, holding on for dear life.  In fact, it’s more like God reaching out of heaven and holding onto to us with His omnipotent grasp.  We are only as safe as He is strong.  That’s why He is powerful enough to preserve us strong in His salvation.

God is powerful enough to present us blameless.  It has always been God’s goal to make us blameless.  Ephesians 1:4 says He chose us before the foundation of the world ”that we should be holy and without blame before Him.” 

Read those delightful verses of Jude 24-25 and praise God that He can do things for you that you can’t do for yourself.  Spend some time in praise of God’s omnipotent hand.  Without it, where would you be? Dr. Woodrow Kroll is the President of Back to the Bible

Dig This Quote: In the final analysis our great problem with holiness is not that our concepts of holiness are feeble, but that our hearts are rebellious. We are selfish, that's our problem. And the fact that we often won't admit our selfishness shows how deep the pride goes. Floyd McClung
