I have shared before that I love to listen to music…especially while I am working around our home. It just never ceases to amaze me how often just the right song will come on that I need to hear at that particular moment. Many times, when I’m discouraged or afraid, I will hear a song that has the right words to calm my soul. There are other times when I am feeling so blessed and the only way I know to express my thoughts is to sing to the Lord the praise songs that I hear.
A song that has spoken to me lately is “God Is Able” and some of the lyrics are:
God is able
He will never fail
He is Almighty God
Greater than all we seek
Greater than all we ask
He has done great things
Lifted up
He defeated the grave
Raised to life
Our God is able
In His name
We overcome
For the Lord
Our God is able
God is with us
God is on our side
He will make a way
Far above all we know
Far above all we hope
He has done great things
This song is such a wonderful reminder to me that no matter what I face, God IS able to handle it. I am also reminded of this fact as I dive into scripture:
2 Timothy 1:12: “That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return” (emphasis mine).
Hebrews 2:18: “Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested” (emphasis mine).
Hebrews 7:25: “Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf” (emphasis mine).
2 Corinthians 9:8: “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” (emphasis mine).
Our God IS able. He has shown me over and over that He is able to do so much more than I ever could have imagined. I don’t know what you are going through today, but if you are struggling or facing something that seems impossible to overcome, you need to hold onto the fact that He IS able. There is nothing that He can’t overcome. There is nothing that is causing Him to fret or wring His hands. HE IS ABLE. As the song tells us “He will make a way, far above all we know, far above all we hope, He has done great things.”
Place your cares in His hands and then relax...because HE IS ABLE!
