I’ve been doing a Bible study on the book of Luke by Erica Wiggenhorn called Unexplainable on the life of Jesus and it’s opening my eyes to so many things about God’s character. As I was studying this morning, I had flashbacks to GA camp and the lines of a song: “My God is so big, so strong and so mighty, there’s nothing my God cannot do.”
I’ve always known that God is able to do anything, but how many times do I really believe it? The Greek word for able is “dunami” and it means to have power, to be able to do something, to be capable. 2 Cor 9:8 says “And God is able to bless you abundantly so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” Ephesians 3:20 says “For He is able to do incredibly more than we can ask or imagine, according to His work within us.” God is more than capable of meeting our needs.
God is always a God of action- He is never not moving, never not at work, never still. (He doesn’t even sleep!) God will meet our needs- notice I said needs and not wants. He only wants the best for us and truly knows our heart’s desires. God has the ability- He is able to give me abundantly of what I need so that I’m never without what I need in and out of every season. I’m so thankful for His grace- that He is able to do for me what I cannot. If I could do it, I wouldn’t need Him.
I had to ask myself a few hard questions. Maybe you need to ask the same ones too.
What am I believing that God is able to do for me?
Do I truly believe (without fear or doubt) that He can do it?
Will I trust His sovereignty and goodness if the answer isn’t my answer?
I have to believe that He is able to do what I need Him to do and what I ask Him to do, but I have to be willing to trust Him with the outcome and everything in between.
So what are you believing that God is able to do? What do you need Him to do? Rest in the promise that He is faithful and He is able.
