He is Able

HE IS ABLE

“I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that HE is able …” 2 Timothy 1:12

One of my devotional tools that I have been using for years is DAILY LIGHT ON THE DAILY PATH. I love it because it is just Scripture. No commentary – just the Word of God. I have been using this since 1999 and my copy is filled with marginal notes that remind me of God’s faithfulness.

Yesterday’s reading was one that I look forward to reading every year. I have copied it and placed it in several of my Bibles. It is a reminder of who HE is and what HE is ABLE to do …

He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)

He is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)

He is able to aid those who are tempted. (Hebrew 2:18)

He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25)

He is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. (Jude 24)

He is able to keep that which I have committed to that day. (2 Timothy 1:12)

Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. (Philippians 3:21)

Wow! This is the God who you and I serve! This is the God who wants to have a relationship with you and me. This is the God who comes to you and me and says in the midst of difficult circumstances: “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” According to your faith let it be to you.” (Matthew 9:28-29)

GPS – God’s Positioning System: Numbers 35-36; Psalm 65; Proverbs 10
Compass Pointers: While there is left in you a trace of ill-temper, or of vanity, of pride, or of selfishness; while there is left in you a single sin, or germ of sin, you must not rest from the battle. God does not require from you to be sinless when you come before Him, but He does require you to be unceasing in your perseverance. He does not require that you shall never have fallen; but He does require unwearied efforts. He does not require you to win, but He does require you to fight. Frederick Temple

Anchored to the Rock: Prayer is good, but when it is used as a substitute for obedience, it is naught but a  blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism. C. T. Studd
