God is Able

GOD IS ABLE"

The reason we don't turn to God more often is because at some basic and unconscious level we are not "fully convinced" He is able and willing to move on our behalf.

Being able to admit that to yourself is humbling; it's also the point at which you begin to deal with your lack of faith in God.

Nothing in your life will change until you pray, "Lord, help me. I say things with my lips that I don't follow through in my behavior." Once you begin to pray that way you can start walking through your Bible, rediscovering that "God is able." He's able to provide for you when you're in a wilderness. He's able to defeat the giants that stand in your way. He's able to go through fiery trials with you and bring you out un-harmed. He's able to promote you when you've been overlooked or opposed.

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us" (Eph 3:20 NKJV).

Whatever it takes to own the words, "God is able," do it; otherwise you won't be able to pray with confidence. You'll make a few wishes on your knees, but you won't be able to persevere in prayer until you know in your heart of hearts that God is able-and that He's willing! Nothing is too difficult for Him. He's just waiting for you to recognize that, and come to Him in faith asking for help.

The Light Shines in the Darkness

The first colored electric Christmas lights on outdoor evergreen trees appeared in Denver in 1914. The tradition began thanks to a sick boy bedridden in the top floor of his home. Ten-year-old David Sturgeon couldn't see his family's Christmas tree downstairs, so his grandfather, a pioneering electrician, painted some light bulbs red and green and strung them on a tree outside David's window.

Not only did the lights brighten what would be David's last holiday, but residents throughout the city came by to admire the display. Just as David's innovative grandfather brought light into the boy's dark times and joy to the whole community, God revealed the true light by sending Jesus into our dark world. For "the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it" (John 1:5, NRSV).
