Able to Do

It is relatively easy to believe great things of God as in
Psalm 33:6, 9:

“By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry
host by the breath of his mouth. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood
firm.”

It seems to be more difficult to believe great things of God
when it has to do with us:

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so
that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in
every good work” (2 Cor. 9:8).

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than
all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Eph.
3:20).

“Therefore he is able to save completely those who
come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them” (Heb.
7:25).

“Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own
master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make
him stand” (Rom. 14:4).

“That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed,
because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to
guard what I have entrusted to him for that day” (2 Tim. 1:12).

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve
is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O
king” (Dan. 3:17).

“To him who is able to keep you from falling and to
present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy”
(Jude 24).
