A show that was popular a couple of years ago was known for the five words that formed a single question. The question was the title of the show: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
In the sermon this past Sunday, the message concluded with just three words that formed a single promise: “God is able!” You were asked to remember those three words and to think about them during this week. The five verses below will help you stay focused on this promise:
- When it comes to the subject of grace, “God is able to make all grace abound toward you (2 Corinthians 9:8).”
- Concerning the power that is necessary to live the Christian life, “God is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20).”
- Paul told Timothy that he could trust God, because “He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day (2 Timothy 1:12).”
- When hard times come, you should know that “Since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested (Hebrews 2:18).”
- A verse in Jude 24 summarizes these principles: “God is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.”
What are you doing to stay focused on these three words? I suggest that every time you open or shut a door, remember to say: “God is able.” If you do this, God might open a door for you.
