" GOD IS ABLE "

Well welcome Aboard, This week we will be looking into the fact that MY/OUR God Is Able. Now I'm reminded of Solomon, when given the chance to have anything in the world he asked for WISDOM. " An Understanding heart " in order to lead well and to make right decisions. We can ask God for this same WISDOM. Now,Wisdom means practical Discernment, we must have the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances. I'm blown away that Solomon asked for discernment to carry out his job; he did not ask God to do the job for him. We should not ask God to do for us what he wants to do through us. Instead we should ask God to give us the Wisdom to know what to do and the courage to follow through on it. Our God is Able to Rise Above any situation in our lives. No Christian can use the excuse that a temptation is unique to him or her. Listen, even Jesus was tempted! Thankfully, God does not allow His Children to be Tempted BEYOND the borders of their Limitations. Unfortunately, people sometimes grow so enamored by Sin that they become blind to the ESCAPE route the Spirit supplies. " Now to him who is ABLE to keep us from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy." God is ABLE He promised Abram descendants like the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the seashore, too numerous to count. To appreciate the vast number of stars scattered through the sky's, you need to be, like Abram, away from any distractions. Or pick up a handful of sand and try to count the grains - it can't be done! Just when Abram was despairing of ever having an heir, God promised descendants too numerous to imagine. God's Blessings are beyond our Imaginations! OUR GOD IS ABLE. Until Next Time... Jim,
