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 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” (Ephesians 3:20).

“Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always
lives to intercede for them” (Hebrews 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” (Romans 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 Timothy 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” (Daniel 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).
