HE IS ABLE

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory,
majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen,” (Jude 24-25, NASB).

Unfortunately, there are times when, no matter how hard we try or how talented we may be, we fail. How are we to succeed when the odds are against us? For believers in Christ Jesus, the answer is to
live with the knowledge that God works despite our weaknesses.

In Genesis, Sarah doubted when the Lord prophesied the birth of her son. “‘Is anything too difficult for the Lord?’” (Genesis 18:14, NASB) He replied. Within a year, Sarah gave birth to baby Isaac. She
saw that God was able.

Moses was scared when God sent him to Pharaoh to demand that the Hebrew slaves be released. “But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of
Israel out of Egypt?’” (Exodus 3:11, NASB). God replied that He Himself would release Israel, which He did in a miraculous way. Moses saw that God was able.

On our own, we can accomplish nothing. But with God, we have access to power beyond our comprehension. If we are overcome by burdens in our life, it is time to trust the only One who can carry our heavy load. Then we will see for ourselves that He is able.
