"God Is Able"

"Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;" (Psalms 108:5)

 Here is where things start getting specific and the questions start getting a little more in touch with the way we see God's ability to aid us in our times of trouble. I am under the strong belief that God is only able to do as much as you believe that He is capable of doing; if you don't believe that He has the power that He says that He has, then your life will lack the power that is available from Him. It is not a question of what He can do, but a question of how much you believe He can do. One statement Jesus made several time to His disciples, was, "Where is your faith?" And I do not think He was asking them where their faith is, like they had no faith, but rather, where had they put their faith, as in, in whom do you believe? If we believe the God is able to do all things and cares for us, then we can hold on, knowing that He is able and cares for us, because He is God; "For with God nothing shall be impossible." (Luke 1:37) It is hard to forget all that we have learned over the years, but if we are truly going to experience God doing the impossible, then it is going to take us putting all of our faith in Him. It is funny how we try and justify God's power and wonders. I have heard so many stupid things said by people who claim to be Christians; things concerning the flood, or the children of Israel crossing the Red Sea on dry land; or the virgin birth of Jesus and even His resurrection from the dead.  How do we pretend to believe that God can come to our aid, if we cannot get past our unbelief in His power to do everything or anything? Again, if we are having issues with God creating the earth and the heavens in 6 days, then why would believe anything else? I am not going to argue with what the Bible says, but it does clearly say, repeatedly, 'And the evening and the morning were the day,' not the thousand years, or the millennium. Who knocked down the walls of Jericho? Who parted the Red Sea? Who knows every star by name? He is God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and He knows your name! He knows everything about you, and He loves you more than you can imagine. If God was willing and able to save you, He most surely is able to keep you...

"My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing you praises! Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. For you unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth." (Psalms 57:7-11) NLT
