December 21st: God is Able

by Dennis Johnston

Scripture:

The Lord will work out his plans for my life – for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. Psalm 138:8

Observation:

God is able to do what He says He will do!  We hear time and time again in the psalms about God’s love enduring forever (see Psalm 136). 

Application:

God is a great finisher.  Anything He begins – He completes in full.  “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

Being a Christ-follower is adventurous!  I love to reflect at how marvelous God is at being and doing what He says.  He is always faithful – He doesn’t change!

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV)

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).

I trust these words encourage you and bring hope to whatever situation you are facing. 

Prayer:

God – there are lots of unknowns right now, but I know I can be confident in you.  I trust you and know that your love endures forever.
