From the Daily Light (March 8, evening)
I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able.
Able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
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.
Able to aid those who are tempted.
Able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.
Able to keep what I have committed to Him until that day.
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.
"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."
** 2Tim.1:12; Eph. 3:20; 2 Cor. 9:8; Heb. 2:18; Heb. 7:25; Jude 24;
2Tim.1:12; Phil 3:12; Matt.9:28-29I am learning a lot about the Lord these days. Stuff I maybe knew, but its new to me again. For example I'm reading "Experiencing God" for the first time, for one of my Lenten season resolutions. The first day Blackaby said that God knows where we are and what we need at any given moment (surely I know this, but it hit me new) - and that if thats the case, surely he can tell someone else where we are and what we need at any given moment and thus provide for our needs naturally or supernaturally. wow. YES LORD! that's what I needed to hear that day.
And then the page above from the "Daily Light" was SUCH a blessing to me, too!! God IS able. Scripture is full of "ables" about God - over 20 of them (or maybe more?). Anyway, it was a great reminder that God IS able to do more than I can even think of, and even when I ask BIG... my big is not big to God - he can do bigger, more than I could ever even come up with on my own.
So I'm asking big lately, for big things for my future, and for clear direction. And God is able.
